A Distant Thunder Letra

give my best to those I care for with firends a simple nod will do I bow to those who've come and gone before me a handshake to the past it gets me through been a little bit good and a little bit sad let the dirt and dust fall where it may a distant thunder and it takes my breath away tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears oh cover my tears measured distance through the heartbeats measured time holds all my beliefs these shotgun visions are all I've ever lived with a scattered mind from a reckless youth I cover my ears, I cover my eyes still all the fears, still heard the lies a distant thunder and it takes my breath away tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears oh cover my tears took convention for a rough ride a genius under glass set adrift direction all but fading like a kiss that leaves you floating in a trance the rivers I cross the memories I keep a minute to smile, forever to weep a distant thunder and it takes my breath away tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears oh cover my tears a distand thunder, I feel like I'm slippin' under tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky of all those times that I've turned and looked away a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears oh cover my tears
