"Lightning Comes Up From The Ground" lyrics

"Lightning Comes Up From The Ground"

I wanna be a fantasy to you
And I think that is what's going on here
Every time you come around
Lightning comes up from the ground

There's no use to describe the sorrow of that time
I knew, even then, it was always meant to be the past
It was I who walked it back and dragged it into the future
I who drove the road and screamed the night sky
Oh-oh, oh

That look is the most vivid image I have of you
The voices of my blood alive with longing
I tell you now what for so long I did not say
That if I have no right to want you
I want you anyway
I want you anyway

Death to the old ways
But who am I without them?
I will sing to God to call her down
Lightning floods up from the ground, oh-oh
From, from the ground
