Is the world still slowly turning?
Is the tide still going out?
Am I tired of always waiting?
Am I wrong to doubt?
Could have been a nightmare
Could have been a song
Was I really dreaming?
Was I always wrong?
But I never left you once
And I never will.
Cos when you say you want me
I see a carnival
Bridge
Like a siren of a bygone age
A silhouette on the sun
You had a perfect dancer’s stance
I was the clumsy one
I thought you were a runner
Whom I never could outrun
But when you took my hand in yours My whole world was undone
Chorus-
You are like a streak of lightning
A supersonic flame
My rapid ray of sunshine
Bright hailstone in the rain
You know just when to make it
A moment of pure bliss
You wrap me in a whirlwind
And touch me with a kiss
Is it the time for finally leaving?
Is the summer through?
Am I gonna wait and stay here?
Am I just a rendezvous?
Could have been a steal-away
Could have been long gone
Was I really tied up?
Was I leaving all along?
But I never left you
Escaping even for a day.
Cos when you show you want me
You know that I will stay
You are like a streak of lightning
A supersonic flame
My rapid ray of sunshine
Bright hailstone in the rain
You know just when to make it
A moment of pure bliss
You wrap me in a whirlwind
And touch me with a kiss
I feel lightness all round me
As I shake off all the pain
You only have to hold me
And you know I’m yours again
You know just when to nab me
It’s a moment just like this
You wrap me in a whirlwind
And touch me with a kiss
You are like a streak of lightning
A supersonic flame
My rapid ray of sunshine
Bright hailstone in the rain
You know just when to make it
A moment of pure bliss
You wrap me in a whirlwind
And touch me with a kiss
You wrap me in a whirlwind
And touch me with a kiss
You wrap me in a whirlwind
And touch me with a kiss
You know just when to love me
And touch me with a kiss.
