I see the lightning strike the tree,
That's when my love moves away from me,
I hear the thunder roaring by,
The river of salty tears you cry

CHORUS

My heart is breaking down,
And I'd like to arrange to see you again,
I can't go on without you,
So don't be too long,
Cus my heart is strong

Get my sugar in my coffee,
The times are hard and got the right cards,
My cup is running over,
My coffee's cold yeah I'm really sold

CHORUS

I see the lightning strike the tree,
That's when my love moves away from me,
I hear the thunder roaring by,
The rivers of salty tears you cry
