Lightning

Suzanne Vega, Philip Glass

[Verse 1]
Lightning struck a while ago
Blazing much too fast
But give it rain of waiting time
And it will surely pass
And it will surely pass
Blow over

[Verse 2]
And it's happening so quickly
And I feel the flaming time
And I grope about the embers
To release my stormy mind
To release my stormy mind
Blow over
Blow over

[Bridge]
Shaken this has left me
And laughing and undone
With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness
That’s just begun
And a windy crazy running
Through the nights and through the days
And a crackling
Of the time burned away
Burned away
Burned away

[Verse 3]
Now I feel it in my blood
All hot and sharp and white
With a whip crack and thunder
And a flash of flooding light
A flash of flooding light
Oh, oh

[Verse 4]
But there'll be a thick and smoky
Silence in the air
When the fire finally dies
Who'll be left there?
Oh

[Outro]
In the ashes of time
Burned away
Burned away
