The Lightning Strike 歌詞
The Lightning Strike: (i) What If This Storm Ends? / (ii) The Sunlight Through The Flags / (iii) Daybreak - Snow Patrol
What if this storm ends
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again
The perfect halo
Of gold hair and lightning
Sets you off against
The planet's last dance
Just for a minute
The silver forked sky
Lit you up like a star
That I will follow
Now it's found us
Like I have found you
I don't want to run
Just overwhelm me
What if this storm ends
And leaves us nothing
Except a memory
A distant echo
I want pinned down
I want unsettled
Rattle cage after cage
Until my blood boils
I want to see you
As you are now
Every single day
That I am living
Painted in flames
All peeling thunder
Be the lightning in me
That strikes relentless
What if this storm ends
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again
The perfect halo
Of gold hair and lightning
Sets you off against
The planet's last dance
Just for a minute
The silver forked sky
Lit you up like a star
That I will follow
Now it's found us
Like I have found you
I don't want to run
Just overwhelm me
From here the caravans
Are kids toys
And I can hold them
All in my palm
I watch the sea creep
Round the corner
It connects the dots
From here to you
The sunlight burning
Through the loose flags
Painted high
On white church walls
I chase my blood from brain
To thumped heart
Until I'm out of
Breath for trying
Worry not everything is sound
This is the safest place
You've found
The only noise
Beating out is ours
Lacing our tea
From honey jars
These accidents of
Faith and nature
They tend to stick
In the spokes of you
But every now and
Then the trend bucks
And you're repaired
By more than glue
Worry not everything is sound
This is the safest
Place you've found
The only noise
Beating out is ours
Lacing our tea from honey jars
Why don't you rest
Your fragile bones
A minute ago you looked alone
Stop waving your arms
You're safe and dry
Breathe in and drink
Up the winter sky
Slowly the day breaks
Apart in our hands
And soft hallelujahs
Flow in from the church
The one on the corner
You said frightened you
It was too dark and too large
To find your soul in
Something was bound to
Go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together
To make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark
So suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two
Of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of
The flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like
I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit
The ground like god's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins
And buckets for bailing out the flood
As motionless cars rust on
Driveways and curbs
You take off your raincoat
And stretch out your arms
We both laugh out loud
And surrender to it
The sheer force of sky
And the cold magnet earth
Something was bound to
Go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together
To make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark
So suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two
Of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of
The flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like
I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit
The ground like god's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins
And buckets for bailing out the flood
