[Verse 1]
I saw her standing there
By the river's edge
The first time I'd ever felt at home
I could feel the weight inside
Bind me to the ledge
Being someone else I've never known
I said my name was John but she knew my name was Jim
And you must be the man with no religion
They say you're cold as ice
But I see kindness in your eyes
But all your life there's been something missing
But I'll lead you darling out of the wild
Away from that cold and steam and hunger
A storm's been raging inside your clouds
That I call your lightning and thunder
[Verse 2]
For a long long time I'd been a wandering man
But never in the way one tells
You can't k** the pain with an age old shame
I can't get in a word in with myself
She said to be just like a man who is made from flesh and blood
Well I can see the ghost that you have been
Who walks into the fire
And who wades across the flood
The ghost is not the soul that makes the man
[Verse 3]
But I'll lead you darling out of the wild
Away from that cross you've been under
A storm's been raging inside your clouds
That I call your lightning and thunder
Yeah I call your lightning and thunder
