I've done my part to cover you from storms that I can see
Oh, the lightning is your friend, the thunder is your enemy
Come rain, be mine, don't swallow time, just open up and breathe
You're through with you and done with some, but just hold on to me
Singing ooh, ooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oh, you're singing ooh, ooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Shut your mouth and stop the war, these pilgrims follow me
Oh, they see the light, the ship is right to give them harmony
I pass a glance, a fatal chance to tell them what I hear
I say these voices won't stop calling out
"The lightning's what you fear"
Come now, brother, change your name
You're gonna run for the rest of your life
I gave you all my money, but you never bought the rain
Burn your bridges and bite your tongue
You know the end is finally here
'Cause I told you, the lightning's what you fear
If God won't let me run my mouth, then how am I to say
Oh, these rivers of forgiveness never rushing my way
Oh, look me in the eye and tell me everything you know
About loving like you mean it and giving up the ghost
Singing ooh, ooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oh, you're singing ooh, ooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Beware of fair and silly things, you'll lose more than you'll gain
Oh, alas, your precious partner's past is drowning in the rain
Oh, I sung the songs of future storms, please turn your ears to hear
These voices won't stop calling out, "The lightning's what you fear"
Come now, brother, change your name
You're gonna run for the rest of your life
I gave you all my money, but you never bought the rain
Burn your bridges and bite your tongue
You know the end is finally here
'Cause I told you, the lightning's what you fear
Oh, come now, brother, change your name
You're gonna run for the rest of your life
I gave you all my money, but you never bought the rain
Burn your bridges and bite your tongue
You know the end is finally here
'Cause I told you, the lightning's what you fear
Yes, I told you, the lightning's what you fear
Yes, I told you, the lightning's what you fear
Yes, I told you, the lightning's what you fear
