[Intro - the sparkling synth riff and one low round bass note answer each other from the very first bar] [Hook - her voice, once, playful, long notes] I saw him first Before the thunder burst [Verse 1 - close, playful, unhurried] Every girl in town Heard him coming down Weak in every knee Looking up to see They were slow, but I Saw him streaking by [Pre - rising, teasing] I'm the first to know Thunder's always slow [Chorus - melody up high, long held notes, sweet and hot] I saw him first Before the thunder burst You all can hear him roar But I was there before A flash of silver wing And then the sky would sing [Verse 2 - breath-close, playful] Later, wider skies The women watched him rise Silver mustache, calm Weather in his palm Not a word was said Every cheek went red [Pre - rising, teasing] Sound gave him his name And all the girls took aim [Chorus - melody up high, her voice answering herself] I saw him first (saw him first) Before the thunder burst You all can hear him roar But I was there before A flash of silver wing And then the sky would sing [Final Chorus - full beat, key up, long held notes, her voice in stacked harmonies, the beat never stops] I saw him first (I saw him first) Before the thunder burst (thunder burst) A flash, and then the boom The girls break into bloom A flash of silver wing And then the sky would sing [Instrumental - full beat, the sparkling riff and the low bass note answering each other, the beat never stops, ending on one final hit] [End]
