Thunder rolls past county lines
Lightning writes in jagged signs
Porch wood groans under heavy boots
Static hums through copper roots
Rain falls heavy on the dial
Frequency rides the storm awhile
Two strangers wait for morning light
Bound by static through the night
Headset rests on weathered ears
He's heard the sky for forty years
Morse code taps on window glass
Each dot and dash a moment passed
Rain falls heavy on the dial
Frequency rides the storm awhile
Two strangers wait for morning light
Bound by static through the night
Taxi waits at corner stop
Meter running fare is dropped
Driver watches through the rain
Lightning draws a copper vein
Rain falls heavy on the dial
Frequency rides the storm awhile
Two strangers wait for morning light
Bound by static through the night
Dawn breaks slow on wet wood boards
Signal fades with morning chords
Two silhouettes in fading light
Shared the storm through static night
Rain falls heavy on the dial
Frequency rides the storm awhile
Two strangers met in morning light
Bound by static through the night
Static fades on wooden boards
Morning swallows up the chords
