|
|
The time between the lightning and the thunder,
|
The time to wait before her fate arrives.
|
She looks out at the sky and starts to wonder
|
If a miracle might let it pass her by.
|
|
The time it takes the pain of it to reach her,
|
The moment that her world is blown apart.
|
The wisdom in the silence there to teach her,
|
His time had been this precious from the start.
|
|
The bullet changes everything and nothing.
|
Gunshots will echo down the block.
|
This life, this could have been something...
|
The door that he was running for was locked.
|
|
Chorus:
|
She's in the time between the lightning and the thunder,
|
Before the shock can hit that this is real.
|
The disbelieving spell she's falling under,
|
And the time it takes before her heart can feel.
|
|
She says:
|
Oh my love...
|
It's all right...
|
I'm right here...
|
You're just asleep now.
|
Oh my love...
|
Here's my coat...
|
You're so cold...
|
Beside the street now.
|
|
The time it takes to die in some old western
|
Is time enough to tell where gold is hid.
|
Time enough to answer one last question,
|
Pass the map and compass to the kid.
|
|
But this time there is nothing like that virtue.
|
Just stillness in the heart that used to beat.
|
The darkness that she is falling into
|
Is spreading on the pavement at her feet.
|
|
Chorus:
|
She's in the time between the lightning and the thunder,
|
Before the shock can hit that this is real.
|
The disbelieving spell she's falling under,
|
And the time it takes before her heart can feel.
|
|
She says:
|
Oh my love...
|
Here's my coat...
|
You're so cold...
|
Beside the street here.
|
Oh my love...
|
It's all right...
|
I'm right here...
|
You're just asleep here.
|
|
The time between the lightning and the thunder.
|
The time between the lightning and the thunder.
