[Verse]
The clouds cry with a vengeance
moaning roars between the silences' calm
I stand here as lightning's hindrance
telling thunder it can do no wrong
The rain dances around my body
avoiding my skin with every touch
Oh, never have I hurt so badly
then trying to grasp rains slippery clutch

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, let the clouds hear my pleas
slow their tears enough to cease
my inner pain boom, boom - booms
loud with thunders deafening claps and echoed tunes
is there any hope to move along dry?
a tiny chance the clouds won't cry?
if there's not, let it fall, bring it on
cuz my love for you is -- truly gone.

[Verse 2]
we used to share a life of such joy
now you wield my heart like a child's toy
bouncing it along as you turn and go
please, oh please, don't say it's so
If your tears do come, our love is through
I'll have no chance of what I'd need to do
lightning should've never stood a chance
can't you see it's damaged happenstance?

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, let the clouds hear my pleas
slow their tears enough to cease
my inner pain boom, boom -- booms
loud with thunders defeaning claps and echoed tunes
is there any hope to move along dry?
a tiny chance the clouds won't cry?
if there's not, let it fall, bring it on
cuz my love for you is -- truly gone.

[Verse 3]
Oh clouds. don't say that we're over
don't dry up as long as I have hope
I'll linger along in life alone sober
with a tormented mind, soul and heartbroke
let those tears fall fast and fall hard
show the world how proud you let free
don't let the world dictate to you how far
or calmly they think that you need be

[Outro]
turn loose your faucets, let them pour
flood these lands, then rain some more
lightning flash your brightest flash
hit them hard and hit them fast
thunder pound the ground with sound
make it shake and jump around
I'll laugh and smile with the plip plop, plip plops
I'll dance and sing between your drops
so clouds cry away and lightning fly by
thunder pound, pound, pound away, don't ever be dismayed or -- denied.

Denied to cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

[End]
