Lyrics

Three thir ty in the morn ing,

not a soul in sight,

the cit y’s look in’ like a ghost town

on a moon less sum mer night.

Rain drops on the wind shield; there’s a storm

mov in’ in.

He’s head ing back from some where

that he nev er should have been.

And the thun der rolls,

and the thun der rolls.

Three thir ty in the morn ing,

not a soul in sight,

the cit y’s look in’ like a ghost town

on a moon less sum mer night.

Rain drops on the wind shield; there’s a storm

mov in’ in.

He’s head ing back from some where

that he nev er should have been.

And the thun der rolls,

and the thun der rolls.

The thun der (Bb)rolls

and the light ning strikes.

An oth er love grows (Bb)cold

on a sleep less (A)night.

As the storm goes (Bb)on

out of con trol,

deep in her heart

the thun der (Dm)rolls.
