I was wishing my whole life   For a lightning wife   She had rain drop wings   Her fingers felt like velvet green branches      I was human she was god   But I was dressed up in lightning clothes   So she couldn't see that I was beneath her   And she said she'd stay for a while      So she took me to the sky   She never noticed that I had no wings   I felt her skin against mine   And the stars melted into dandelion wine      And her eyes are like sunflowers and thunderclouds   And her tongue is like raspberries in June   And I keep thinking that if I could only keep her distracted   She won't notice I'm not worthy of a lightning girl      And I remember the Christmas's without her   I was alone and drunk and staring at the tree   And she was whispering through the cracks in the window   But I couldn't hear her 'cause I didn't love me
