Lyrics

I listen to the heartbeat of the earth beneath my feet
I listen to the wind bisected by the city’s streets
I listen to the raindrops exploding on the concrete
I listen to the thunder promising the storm

I took you for an angel, I took you for a saint
I took you to my altar and you wrapped me in your fate
Come a little closer ’cos the hour is getting late
As we listen to the thunder which promises the storm

You’ve shown me valleys and you’ve shown me hills
I clatter like scrap metal and you melt me to your will
I left you with the storm clouds and you’re holding them still
As you listen to the thunder which promises the storm

Thundering, I hear the rain coming
Blundering, I slowly fall down
Thundering, the lightning’s beginning
As thin as your kiss or the paint on a clown
