Thunder, the sound

when happiness is the pain you're feelin'
and tears the road you're travellin'
somethin's gone wrong

when thunder's the sound you're hearin', and
skies over head, turn into that pale colour of
grey, somethin's gone wrong

since you went away, thunder's been rollin'
skies have been closin' in, turnin' into that
sad sound of rain

and life...messes with me all day...

she knows

Belinda

Belinda lived her insane life
reachin' out to the naked skies
a wild cat, a queen of the night
time an' time again reachin' out
for that side where angels fly in
blindin' light

speed filled her days and nights
it was maddening, demanding an'
rough a bird tryin' to catch the sun
she got burned on her last run

Belinda, queen of birds, livin'
a long short life, tried to catch
the sun, never got close to that
light

and time was gettin' to be short
in supply, a line was cast to that
other side, booze was a torment
drugs a need, this lady coudn't
budge or leave, then...kicked it
aside for a clean life

Belinda, queen of birds, livin'
a long short life, tried to catch
the sun, she got burned

Where you live

It's been a long time
I failed to connect
you look at me
from beyond the skies

I can see the pain
in your eyes
I didn't know that
at the time

I wish I had
I wouldn't have failed
to connect

ans you stil reach me
through time
lookin' down on me
from a million lights

watchin' me from
the source of life
you have me wondering
what it is you want of me

you've been taken
beyond my reach
all I can do is wait
for me to go where
you now live
