Lyrics

Waiting for the Thunder

Oh the air was thick with summer
And twilight would not fall
But the dark remained persistent
arriving late to blanket all

When away on the horizon
Cutting through the looming night
Came a spark out of the darkness
Flashing fast and burning bright

So it seemed a storm was brewing,
Well, the rain would do us well
But the sky said nothing doing
And not one drop ever fell

And I am waiting for the thunder
There is lightning in the sky
Signs that shine on clouds I?m under
tell me that a storm is nigh
tell me that a storm is nigh

There is solace in a shower
Precipitation has its place
And when it falls it has the power
To wash the wondering from my face

But the storm it loves to linger
And apprehension falls instead
As I lie awake in stillness
obscured by words I have never said

But the air is charged and heavy
And spark is all that it takes
to ignite all the frustration
Until the sky it finally breaks

And I am waiting for the thunder
There is lightning in the sky
Signs that shine on clouds I?m under
tell me that a storm is nigh

And I am waiting for the thunder
There is lightning in the sky
Signs that shine on clouds I?m under
tell me that a storm is nigh
tell me that a storm is nigh
