Lyrics
STORMY NIGHTS
Music and lyrics by John Neil Martin
(Copyright 2020)
V1
When it's gettin' cloudy out
I just smile
I know you'll be around
Mile after mile
It's been storming in our lives
Till we can't see the sky
Still, it feels like the best of times
Whenever we ride
PRE-CHORUS 1
I see the shadows rolling
the storm clouds dark and low
Like distant thunder the energy builds
CHORUS
Lightning strikes in our life
Right before the dawn
Stormy nights are alright
Pretty soon they'll be gone
Then we'll roll like thunder
We just got to hold on
Lightning strikes
And the stormy nights are gone
V2
Winds of time flow like sand
Through life's hourglass
We'll inhale the future and
Exhale the past
Life is movin' fast
With electricity
PRE-CHORUS 2
No matter where these roads go
We are family
Listen for the thunder and that's where we'll be
CHORUS
Lightning strikes in our life
Right before the dawn
Pretty soon we'll carry on
We'll carry on
Then we'll roll like thunder
We just got to hold on
Lightning strikes
And the stormy nights are gone
V3
I used to shake my head and say
I wonder why
There are so many rainy days
And storms in our skies
I know you've felt it too
It's been quite a ride
Life can change if you choose
When lightning strikes
CHORUS
Lightning strikes in our life
Right before the dawn
Stormy nights are alright
Pretty soon they'll be gone
Then we'll roll like thunder
We just got to hold on
We just got to hold on
And the stormy nights are gone
