- Don McLean Chain Lightning 歌詞
- Don McLean
- Sometimes when
Im thinkin that loves not around
My heart begins sinkin,
I dont hear a sound
And the world is in blackness, no light shines on me
I suffer no blindness, no one can
I see Then a flash from the heavens like a loud jagged wire
And the silence is broken, and the night is on fire. [Chorus:]
Its like chain lightning, this love that
I feel. Who knows where it strikes or ]when it will hit,
How long it will last, or when it will quit.
In the forest
Im burning, struck down by the blast
The fever is churning, and the heat rises fast.
And those standing nearest can show their concern
But I swear if they touch me that they too will burn.
They fear for their lives for death will soon dwell
In the warmth of your love is the fire of hell. [Chorus:]
Its like chain lightning, this love that
I feel. Who knows where it strikes or ]when it will hit,
How long it will last, or when it will quit.
And soon the sparks scatter and wind whips the flame
And love will soon shatter what it cannot tame
And the cycle continues, from life into dust
For I am now in you with the fire of lust.
And I hear the explosion, of thunder and rain,
The water is falling, the ashes remain. [Chorus:]
Its like chain lightning, this love that
I feel. Who knows where it strikes or ]when it will hit,
How long it will last, or when it will quit.
The Indians tell us that the
Phoenix can rise
From the smoldering ashes thatonce were my eyes
And watch beautiful colours from black and from grey
Be formed into wings and take me away
Where evil is darkness and goodness is light
And love is the lightning that cuts through the night
And strikes only once in a dark place in time
And forms a gold stairway that all of us climb.
