Lyrics Smokie - The World And Elsewhere 1995 - When The Lightning Strikes

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
