Three thirty in the morning,
Not a soul in sight,
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night.
Raindrops on the windshield,
There's a storm moving in.
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been.
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls.
Every light is burnin'
In a house across town.
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown.
Askin' for miracle,
Hopin' she's not right,
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night.
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls.
(Chorus)
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes.
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night,
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls.
She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
*chorus*
(THIRD VERSE)
She runs back down the hallway
Through the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's beenIt抯 been rainin?so hard
Been lonely so long
æ…£il you reached in the dark
I never thought you抎 find me
But now I walk in the light
Wherever I go
I wanna feel the strength
Watch it unfold
Share it all with you
There抯 one thing that I know, yea.
Chorus:
It runs deep
When love strikes
It hits so hard, stops you dead in your tracks
It takes over from inside
When love strikes
It抯 spreading like fire
My heart抯 melting like ice
It抯 lightning traveling on wire
Hit me straight between the eyes, yea
I wanna take it tonight
As far as it goes
I wanna feel the strength
Watch it unfold
Share it all with you
There抯 one thing that I know, yea
Chorus
You may not recover
You抣l know it抯 right
When love strikes
