Thunderbolt’s Goodnight lyrics
by Josh Ritter
Oh, my love
You been crying
Oh, honey, baby, please
We can work it out
I can't survive unless you're next to me
And all my life before I met you
When I was trying hard in love
I thought the sun was going down
But the sun was comin' up
All those others that I stayed with
Their eyes of polished stone
And all my devils that I made deals with
So I wouldn't have to sleep alone
And all my life before I met you
When I was trying hard in love
I thought the sun was going down
But the sun was comin' up
I see your face in the window
I see your face in the reflections of the moon
I feel my own ancient shadows disappear when I am near to you
So take this heart
Take this feeling
Take my dark and reeling mind
And from these poor words
Find a meaning far deeper than these clumsy lines
And all my life before I met you
When I was trying hard in love
I thought the sun was going down
But the sun was comin' up
I thought the sun was going down
But the sun was comin' up
