 LIKE A MIDNIGHT STORM

song lyrics/words by Joel Sattler

A sky like a death absorbing all light
an air like a threat full of lightning and ice
a flash in the west, a grumbling night
a smash in the dark like a meteorite

she was ready for battle, was often at war
she would not take less, I could not take more
she was far too much for one man to absorb
but I could not go back to what was before

she liked to make love in the rain in the dark
she was like dynamite to be lit by a spark
she shook like a snake but she bit like a shark
and wherever she touched she would leave a mark

we could not go on, it was getting too rough
I gave her my soul but that was not enough
like a summer shower she was wet and warm
but then she could be like a midnight storm

I stand at the door
to hear the wind rise
and wait
for the sound
of thunder midnight
