Lightning Rod, a song

For the last few months I have been working on a new set of songs, an album I am tentatively calling "Ghost Notes."  The songs all deal with themes of fresh starts, new beginnings and seizing the day.  I only have some very rough demos laid down, but I thought for the next few weeks I might post some of these here on my blog.  Here's the first one, a song I call "Lightning Rod."

Lightning Rod



When I was falling from the sky you were
My lightning rod, you
Guided my feet back to the ground

When I was learning how to die you were
My empty tomb, more
(hah) alive than anything I’ve found

Chorus:
Out of the blue, after the long night
Upwards I flew, wings melting in the sunlight
Out of the storm, trembling and awed
Into your arms I fell, like a lightning rod

Verse 2:
When I was tumbling through the air you were
The rock that broke my fall
Holding me hard against your heart

When I was stumbling through my prayers you were
The tunnel and the light
Winding my way back to the start

Chorus:
Out of the blue, after the long night
Upwards I flew, wings melting in the sunlight
Out of the storm, trembling and awed
Into your arms I fell, like a lightning rod
