Like a blanket of blooming heather
With its sweet magenta haze
I was asleep for the longest of winters
You appeared in but a day
Hope found a new home in your warm embrace
Through the pines the breaking of old stars
Glow in welcoming red
Like a lover's duet
Sunsets silhouette
The heather as our bed
Let the morning come and find us just the same
Yes you know it when you're hit
Lightning, thunder and rain
We lost ourselves
November, carried many a storm
The heather drained of its color
And failed to keep us warm
Now morning tries to find us here in vain
Yeah you know it when you hit
Lightning, thunder and rain
The blooming of the heather
Will never look the same
The only regret that I now have are mistakes we didn't make
And I relive it time and time again
Can't help it when you're hit
Lightning, thunder and rain
