Thunderbolt's Goodnight

Oh, my love

You been crying, oh, honey, baby, please

We can work it out

I can't survive unless you're next to me

And all my life

Before I met you, when I was trying hard in love

I thought the sun

Was going down, but the sun was comin' up

All those others

That I stayed with, their eyes are polished stone

And all my devils

That I made deals with so I wouldn't have to sleep alone

And all my life

Before I met you, when I was trying hard in love

I thought the sun

Was going down, but the sun was comin' up

I see your face

In the window, I see your face in the reflections of the moon

I feel my own

Ancients shadows disappear when I am near to you

So take this heart

Take this feeling, take my dark and reeling mind

From these pores

Find a meaning far deep within these clumsy lives

And all my life

Before I met you, when I was trying hard in love

I thought the sun

Was going down, but the sun was comin' up

I thought the sun

Was going down, but the sun was comin' up
