Lightnin’ Strikes Lyrics by Hard Rain

When the Good Times Come

0

I've been standing 'cross the street 'most every night
Trying to keep my eye on you
I've been waiting but it seems you never come
I never get to you

I need a chance 'cause there's a lot that I could say
And there's things that I'd like to do
Most of all I want to take you away
I've got to get to you some way

Can't you see the lightning strike
Run like wild horses
May never be another night like this
Well, you can't stand up and fight
Against those strange forces
It's just a thing you can't afford to miss

There's people telling me I'm crazy, they don't know
Shouldn't trust a word you say
Your excuse is they're just lies, you're having fun
Why don't I stay away?

Maybe they're right but I don't feel it in my heart
You took it out of my control
I've fallen in but I don't know where I should start
I'm in a minefield, cold and dark

Can't you see the lightning strike
Run like wild horses
May never be another night like this
Well, you can't stand up and fight
Against those strange forces
It's just a thing you can't afford to miss

When it cuts you like a knife
So deep it's hurting
But gets you going like a deadly kiss
Could be anything you want
While the world's turning
You never know it till the bullet hits

Can't you see the lightning strike
Run like wild horses
May never be another night like this
Well, you can't stand up and fight
Against those strange forces
It's just a thing you can't afford to miss

When it cuts you like a knife
So deep it's hurting
But gets you going like a deadly kiss
Could be anything you want
While the world's turning
You never know it till the bullet hits
