Heat lightning rumbles in the distance
The sun's falling west of the trees
The old oak's gone and the house is falling down
But the ghosts are a comfort to me
Ghosts of my family and the time that's moved on
The changing of the old guard to new
Standing here in the day's final light
Strong beside you

Strong beside you on this land that I brought you to
Strong beside you with my arm holding you close
Strong beside you with these babies at our feet
A warm summer wind blows

A warm summer wind blows and the chimney's fell down
The grass ain't been cut and the road into town
cuts through the woods and the barn needs a roof
But there's things more important and I'm holding the proof
I'm holding the proof and it's keeping me strong
Amidst this hollow endless longing

This hollow endless longing takes its toll on us both
And I guess that its good that its showing
Looking for comfort in the knowing
Looking for comfort in the knowing

Nothing takes the place
To the ones you left behind
Of the place you always held in this heart of mine

Holding on alone to the place you always held
As heat lightning rumbles in the distance
The night creeps slowly by as I hold myself together
Somewhere between anguish and acceptance

The night creeps slowly by as I hold myself together
Somewhere between anguish and acceptance
This song is from the album "Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance".
