lyrics

The rolling of the thunder makes you smile
You're dancing as it's raining all the while
A storm you want to pass on to your child
The hold on your heart is tightened

You don't mind the heat of the fire
And if you run your feet'll get stuck in the mire
Lightning hitting a church's spire as you listen to the buzzing of an amplifier
Your senses heightened
As the hold on your heart is tightened
What an imagination

Oh!
Oh!
Oh!

Little marks on paper brought to life
As you sing about a girl who's lost a lifelong strife
And who will live or die? It's up to you
And which little marks on paper you choose to do

You'd finish but you got too much to say
You write a song twelve minutes and a day long
And who decides what instrument you play?
It's the one that'll last the longest
Doesn't matter about the sound
It's how new and tough it is
No doubt you'll try and break it

Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
