lyrics

Last night the lightning came, through the window
Slipped in through the blinds
Last night the lightning sliced up the hours
to spaces in time
Last night the* lighting came, with a fury
Set the past on fire
Last night the lightning raged, had its moment
Then silenced the sky

Waiting there, we were counting out the time
Beneath the dream that we were under
Waiting there, in the spaces, yeah we were waiting there
For the thunder

Last night the lightning came, for a moment
Bathed us in blue light
Last night the lightning left, and the heartbeat
Sped thru the night

Waiting there, (we were) tapping out the time
Beneath the spell that we were under
Laying bare, (in the) spaces
We were waiting there
For the thunder

In between
Between the darkness and the glowing
In between,
Between the wonder & the knowing

Last night the lightning came, to remind us
Change will always come
Last night the lightning left us blinded
Restless till dawn

Waiting there, (we were) counting out the time
Beneath the dream that we were under
Waiting there, (in the) spaces, yeah we were waiting there
For the thunder
