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

Battle of wits

out of the thunder, came a man
more mellow in decision more
eased of mind

more wisdom gained, out of time
many years on the ride, brought
him back

to this time, a siege, a batlle of wits
added wisdom dealt with, to become
stronger in spirit
