It Wasn't Thunder

It wasn't thunder in the distance you heard,
it was the sound of somebody's heart
breaking or aching and falling apart

It wasn't thunder in the distance you heard,
Another page turned, another day dying,
Out in the distance, someone is crying

It wasn't thunder in the distance you heard,
It was the sound of being alone while together
The emotional wounds act as a tether

It wasn't thunder in the distance you heard,
Love always falls short in a life based on self
When one's heart is coldly placed on a shelf

It wasn't thunder in the distance you heard,
It is the sound of a lover's passionate heart
Who waits in repose for a new life to start
