about

I made a mistake on the recording when singing the 2nd verse... the line should be "out in the darkness / wondering what could be in store." "what we have in store" just makes no sense.

lyrics

It’s been a long time coming now
Heaven and earth are crying out
Is there an easier way?
Can we get a break from the heat?

Seasons of failure and fire and drought
Give reason to fear and hate and doubt
There’s peace in the rain
And we wait with open mouths

Chorus:
Oh heat lightning crashing
High above the dark corn fields
Clouds flashing, my wife at the wheel
Oh the world feels swollen now
I think somethings going down
But but ain’t that just the way it always feels?

I feel so incredibly small
I feel lucky to be here at all
Out in the darkness
Marvelous stars
Begin to fall

I got a feeling I can’t ignore
Maybe we’ve passed this way before
Out in the darkness
Wondering what could be in store

Chorus:
Oh heat lightning crashing
High above the dark corn fields
Clouds flashing, my wife at the wheel
Oh the world feels swollen now
I think somethings going down
But but ain’t that just the way it always feels?
