Lightning In A Bottle
(For S.)
She came in from the field one day
Said she brought me a gift
Asked if I had time to play
I set aside my evening worries
As that golden sun was falling
Behind the towering clouds of late July
She held up an old jar and starting calling
She called out to all the angels
Bring me something special tonight
Bring me some lightning in a bottle
Bring me something good and right
Bring me some lightning in a bottle
I stood there and watched her dancing
Swirling around on the grass
I could see her spirit flying
Flying to those clouds so far away
She was smiling and she was singing
Her young voice rising on the wind
Her bright brown eyes were laughing
As she spun around and around
Bring me something special tonight
Bring me some lightning in a bottle
Bring me something good and right
Bring me some lightning in a bottle
I don't know if the angels heard her song
But the spirits of my mothers world
Picked her up and carried her along
The whole horizon lit up with jagged light
She waved that old jar all around
And then closed the lid nice and tight
She came to me and set the bottle down
Said Dad this will make things right…
I brought you something special tonight
I brought some lightning in a bottle
I brought you something good and right
I brought some lightning in a bottle
