[Verse 1] Clouds pile high beyond the pines Porch light glows at supper time Then the sky lets loose a low, deep sound Blue-white lightning splits the clouds I pull my chair beneath the eave Feel the cool Gulf wind breathe Most folks run when the hard rain breaks I lean back and let it stay [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t much in this world I know That can ease my mind Like distant thunder rolling On a warm Texas night [Chorus] When the sky starts singing I can finally breathe Lightning writes across the darkness Like a word meant just for me Let it drum against the tin roof Till the whole world’s washed clean When the storm comes rolling through It brings me back to me [Verse 2] Bare feet swinging off the porch Rainwater racing past the steps Red dirt sends its perfume up Like summer’s final breath By morning, sunlight finds the fields Through the last gray veil below But tonight I’m staying right here There’s nowhere else I need to go [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t much in this world I know That can ease my mind Like distant thunder rolling On a warm Texas night [Chorus] When the sky starts singing I can finally breathe Lightning writes across the darkness Like a word meant just for me Let it drum against the tin roof Till the whole world’s washed clean When the storm comes rolling through It brings me back to me [Bridge - stripped down] Maybe it’s the quiet settling Before the first drop falls Maybe it takes me back to when I had no fear at all [Build] Hear that thunder coming… Feel the old house shake… [Final Chorus] WHEN THE SKY STARTS SINGING I CAN FINALLY BREATHE Lightning turns the pasture white Like a word meant just for me Let it drum against the tin roof Let it rinse these worries clean When the storm comes rolling through It brings me back to me [Outro] Let it rain… Let it roll… I’ll be right here beneath the eave Watching that Texas sky put on a show.
