And it's blazing much too fast
But give it rain of waiting time
And it will surely pass
Blow over
And it's happening so quickly
As I feel the flaming time
And I grope about the embers
To relieve my stormy mind
Blow over
Shaken this has left me
And laughing and undone
With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness
That's just begun
And a windy crazy running
Through the nights and through the days
And a crackling
Of the time burned away
Burned away
Now I feel it in my blood
All hot and sharp and white
With a whipcrack and a thunder
And a flash of flooding light
But there'll be a thick and smoky
Silence in the air
When the fire finally dies
And I'm wondering who'll be left there
In the ashes of the time
Burned away
Burned away
(1978)
Lightning struck a while ago And it's blazing much too fast But give it rain of waiting time And it will surely pass Blow over And it's happening so quickly As I feel the flaming time And I grope about the embers To relieve my stormy mind Blow over Shaken this has left me And laughing and undone With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness That's just begun And a windy crazy running Through the nights and through the days And a crackling Of the time burned away Burned away Now I feel it in my blood All hot and sharp and white With a whipcrack and a thunder And a flash of flooding light But there'll be a thick and smoky Silence in the air When the fire finally dies And I'm wondering who'll be left there In the ashes of the time Burned away Burned away (1978) Explain Request ×
