Lightning flash on the mountain, high desert storm
You come over here past midnight and tell me something's wrong
I let you in anyway, you sweep past me with a kiss
And I remember that night you told me that we can't go on like this
And when the lightning strikes the hillside again
I Ain't seen this kind of storm since I don't remember when
And there's Spanish wine, we got lots of time to watch it all burn
You say you've been lonely since you're gone, lonely but not alone
And your eyes are telling me that the lovers have come and gone
And there's vacancy in your smile, mysteries when you speak
Your heart's at a distance, you keep it out of reach
You ask to stay the night, you tell me things will be alright
But come the morning you'll be gone
This'll just be a lie in this song
And your eyes are as dark as the wine
And your hair is the color of midnight
Lay back and say you're feeling fine
But the fires won't conceal the lie
And when the lightning strikes the hillside again
I Ain't seen this kind of storm since I don't remember when
And there's Spanish wine, we got lots of time to watch it all burn
