In the blinking of an eye Just another passerby in the path of a lightning bolt Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth But I just stand by and I wait my time They say you gotta tow the line they want the water not the wine But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt It was silent, I was lying back gazing skyward When the moment got shattered I remembered what she said
