Lyrics[]
When there's lightning, you know it always brings me down 'Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found I cry out for magic, I feel it dancing in the night It was cold, lost my hold To the shadows of the night There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow in the dark Do your demons, do they ever let you go When you've tried, deep inside, just to hide Is it someone that you know You're just a picture, you're an image lost in time We're a lie, you and I We're words without a rhyme There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow in the dark When I see lightning, you know it always brings me down 'Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow
