Patterson Hood - Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance lyrics

Heat lightning rumbles in the distance Sounds from west of the trees The old old's gone and the house is falling gone But the ghosts are a comfort to me Ghosts of my family and the time it's moved on Changing the whole garden new Standing here in the days for a while Strong beside you Strong beside you on this land that I brought you too Strong beside you with my arm holding you close Strong beside you with these babies at our feet The warm summer wind blows The warm summer wind blows, the chimney's fell down The gra** ain't been cut and the road into town Cuts through woods and the barn needs a roof There's things more important than holding proof Holding the proof and it's keeping me strong Won't miss this house we're in much longer This hollowing much longer, takes its toe on us both And I guess that it's good that it shown Looking for a comfort in the known Looking for a comfort in the known Nothing takes the place to the ones you left behind This place you always held in this heart of mine Holding on too long to the place you always healed Heat lightning rumbles in the distance As I creep slowly by I hold myself together Someone between anguish and acceptance As I creep slowly by I hold myself together Someone between anguish and acceptance
