I close the curtains
 Won't let the day light in
 Put out the candles
 Pour another gin
 
 And when the lightning strikes
 The thunder's never far away
 And you're the lightning like
 I’m thunder on a foggy day
 Or so it seems, or so it seems
 
 Darkness approaching
 Guess there's a storm breaking in
 Rain drops increasing
 Stronger gets the wind
 
 Autumn brought shadows
 My days of mourning are through
 Gone is the sorrow
 The way my life has grown
 
 And when the lightning strikes
 The thunder's never far away
 And you're the lightning like
 I'm thunder on a foggy day
 Or so it seems, or so it seems
 
 Chords on my piano
 Fading away in the room
 The ticking of a clock or
 Is it a metronome
 
 And when the lightning strikes
 The thunder's never far away
 And you're the lightning like
 I'm thunder on a foggy day
 Or so it seems, or so it seems
