The Court & Spark - Your Mother Was The Lightning lyrics

Your mother was the lightning I can't believe it's true Your mother was the lightning And you're a sky of blue Oh, now don't you feel blue? Your father was the driver Of a shining steel train The old man did some driving In blue country rain Oh, yes, buckets and buckets and buckets of rain Your sister was a dancer Up in Barrytown She spent her nightlife dancing And drinking cherry wine Oh, man, what a waste Your brother was the prophet He read it in the leaves They didn't like his magic So they strung him from a tree Oh, man, what a pity He was a friend of mine Me, I was your lover You can see my tattoos Babe, there was no other Only you Oh yes, only you Your mother was the lightning I can't believe it's true Your mother was the ocean And you're a sky of blue Oh, now don't you feel blue? Oh, 'cause, yes, I feel blue
