lyrics

here they come those black storm clouds
with thunder that calls so loud
it shakes the house and draws you from your sleep

the lightning bolts they split the night
they tear the darkness open wide
and leave me here feeling like a child

i lay here so wide awake
i think about the friends i've made
and the memories that i hold most dear

beautiful and full of holes
i still chase the truth they hold
i draw them near so they can't get away

all my old friends
i miss them
if i saw them now
would they want me around

i remember my friend ben
whose life was taken away from him
he taught me about the works of john coltrane

i don't recall the things i said
when last i saw my old friend ben
the blankness of those memories gnaw at me

i tell myself that that's enough
that i'm too young to be thinking of
the folks i know who died along the way

but conversations that i've had
how many of them will be the last
the ones i love will carry to their grave

all my old friends
i miss them
when thunder speaks
i hold them close to me
