"When The Lightning Strikes" lyrics

When The Lightning Strikes

It's close to midnight
There's a chill in the air
I long to touch you
But I don't dare

There's a wall between us
There's a storm in the air
Though you're lying beside me
It's like you're not even there

When the lightning strikes
I don't wanna here
When the cold wind bites
I don't wanna be here

Well, the day of silence
Oh, it hurts me
Though we won't be talking
I hear every word you say

Now the rain is falling
Like a million tears
Coming through my window
To wash away the years

When the lightning strikes
I don't wanna here
When the cold wind bites
I don't wanna be here

Oh, can you feel it?
There's a storm in the air
And it's getting nearer
When the cloud breaks
I don't wanna be here
To feel the rain
Feel the pain

There's a wall between us
There's a storm in the air
Though you're lying beside me
It's like you're not even there

When the lightning strikes
I don't wanna be here
When the cold wind bites
I don't wanna be here

Oh, can you feel it?
There's a storm in the air
And it's getting nearer
When the cloud breaks
I don't wanna be here
To feel the rain

When the lightning strikes
I don't wanna here
When the cold wind bites
I don't wanna be here

When the lightning strikes
When the cold wind bites
Oh, baby
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
