An angel of approaching thunder danced into my life
The day you said you'd take my hand, when you became my wife,
And the rain fell on the barren valleys deep within my heart
When you claimed me as your lightning-love, and swore we'd never part.
An angel of approaching thunder, herald of the storm,
Sound and strength and siren-song all given comely form,
And the rain you called to join us keeps me safe and keeps me whole,
For you've claimed me as your lightning-love, and I gave you my soul.
Let the storm come down, let the rain begin to fall;
We will race ahead, never slowing down at all,
Running hand in hand, tearing contrails through the sky,
We will never stop, never grieve, and never die.
An angel of approaching thunder, you were mine to claim,
But still you could have fled from me, or made of love a game.
And the rain that falls around us is the sweetest wine around,
For I am still your lightning-love, and we won't touch the ground.
An angel of approaching thunder, dearest of them all,
Who knows that if you seek the heights, you have to risk the fall.
And the rain is all our garment, and the only home we need,
For I am still your lightning-love, and follow where you lead.
Let the storm come down, let the rain begin to fall;
We will race ahead, never slowing down at all,
Running hand in hand, tearing contrails through the sky,
We will never stop, never grieve, and never die.
An angel of approaching thunder danced into my life
The day you said you'd take my hand, when you became my wife,
And the rain fell on the barren valleys deep within my heart
When you claimed me as your lightning-love, and swore we'd never part.
