Carry on

morning, its another pure grey morning 
don't know what the day is holding 
when i get up tired and i walk right into the path of a lightning bolt 
siren of an ambulance comes howlin', right through the centre of town and no-one blinks an eye 
and i look up to the sky in the path of a lightning bolt 
met her as the angels parted for her, but she only brought me torture 
but that's what happens when it's you that's standing in the path of a lightning bolt 
everyone i see just walks the walk with gritted teeth 
but i just stand by and i wait my time 
they say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine 
but when i see the signs i'll jump on that lightning bolt 
chances, people tell you not to take chances 
and they tell you that there aren't any answers 
and i was starting to agree 
but i woke suddenly 
in the path of a lightning bolt 
fortune, people talking all about fortune 
do you make it or does it just call you 
in the blinking of an eye 
just another passer-by in the path of a lightning bolt 
everyone i see just walks the walk with gritted teeth 
but i just stand by and i wait my time 
they say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine 
but when i see the signs i'll jump on that lightning bolt 
silence, i was lying back gazing skyward 
when the moment got shattered 
i remembered what she said 
and then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt
