Smokie — When the Lightning Strikes lyrics

Lyrics

It’s close to midnight
There’s a chill in the air
I long to touch you
But I don’t dare
There’s a wall between us There’s a storm in the air
Though you’re lying beside me It’s like you’re not even there
When the lightning strikes
I don’t want to be here
When the cold wind bites
I don’t want to be here
Well the days of silence
Ooh it hurts me Though we won’t be talking
I hear every word you say
Now the rain is falling
Like a million tears
Coming through my window
To wash away the years
When the lightning strikes
I don’t want to be here
When the cold wind bites
I don’t want to be here
Oh can you feel it There’s a storm in the air
And it’s getting nearer
When the cloud breaks
I don’t want to be here
To feel the rain
Feel the pain
There’s a wall between us There’s a storm in the air
Though you’re lying beside me It’s like you’re not even there
When the lightning strikes
I don’t want to be here
When the cold wind bites
I don’t want to be here
Oh can you feel it There’s a storm in the air
And it’s getting nearer
When the cloud breaks
I don’t want to be here
To feel the rain
When the lightning strikes
I don’t want to be here
When the cold wind bites
I don’t want to be here
When the lightning strikes
When the cold wind bites
Oh baby… I don’t want to be here
I don’t want to be here
