Faraway Lightning Lyrics
You were the crashing of the satellite
Onto my black-earth heart
To brighten up the night
You were the body falling off the wall
To wear upon the stone
Like a waterfall
Oh, oh, where did you go?
Oh, oh, I have to know
Oh, oh,
I search the sky for signs of your violence
You were the faraway lightning
Going down
So silently
You were the rain that came like rain
When the hurricane broke free
And every wild prick broke in to song
Oh, oh, where did you go?
Oh, oh...
I search the sky at night for a sign of your violence
Oh, oh
You keep on falling down
I will be standing undercover when you hit the ground
Oh, oh
You keep on falling down
I will be standing with the others when you hit the ground
You told me I was not the only one
But you should trust me love
I am the only one
Oh, oh
You keep on falling down
I will be floating to the island either way
Onto my black-earth heart
To brighten up the night
To wear upon the stone
Like a waterfall
Oh, oh, I have to know
Oh, oh,
I search the sky for signs of your violence
Going down
So silently
When the hurricane broke free
And every wild prick broke in to song
Oh, oh...
I search the sky at night for a sign of your violence
You keep on falling down
I will be standing undercover when you hit the ground
Oh, oh
You keep on falling down
I will be standing with the others when you hit the ground
But you should trust me love
I am the only one
You keep on falling down
I will be floating to the island either way
