Lightning's Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Smokey the bear said only you can...
Lightning said Smokey that's not true
Though sometimes I can't help myself
You know I strike at will, it's nothing personal
Chorus
I'm just trying to get close enough
To see the face of love
To be in the face of love
One combination still impresses
Women, wind and summer dresses
Meet me underneath that hollow tree
I hope you don't mind if thunder follows me
Chorus
There's Franklin's kite and Franklin's key
And Frankenstein they owe a debt to me
I've lit them up I've knocked them down
I've put them early underground
Chorus
There are bolts for them out of the blue
Volts for us we'll hit the heights for you
I come by cloud, I come by storm
When the pressure drops, when cool meets warm
Chorus
One combination still impresses
Women, wind and summer dresses
Meet me underneath that hollow tree
Hope you don't mind if thunder follows me
Lightning's blues (3X)
