Not a soul in sight
 The city's lookin' like a ghost town
 On a moonless summer night
 Raindrops on the windshield
 There's a storm moving in
 He's headin' back from somewhere
 That he never should have been
 The thunder rolls
 And the thunder rolls
 Every light is burnin'
 In a house across town
 She's pacin' by the telephone
 In her faded flannel gown
 Askin' for miracle
 Hopin' she's not right
 Prayin' it's the weather
 That's kept him out all night
 The thunder rolls
 And the thunder rolls
 The thunder rolls
 And the lightnin' strikes
 Another love grows cold
 On a sleepless night
 As the storm blows on
 Out of control
 Deep in her heart
 The thunder rolls
 She's waiting by the window
 When he pulls into the drive
 She rushes out to hold him
 Thankful he's alive
 But on the wind and rain
 A strange new perfume blows
 And the lightning flashes in her eyes
 And he knows that she knows
 The thunder rolls
 And the thunder rolls
 The thunder rolls
 And the lightnin' strikes
 Another love grows cold
 On a sleepless night
 As the storm blows on
 Out of control
 Deep in her heart
 The thunder rolls
 She runs back down the hallway
 And through the bedroom door
 She reaches for the pistol
 Kept in the dresser drawer
 Tells the lady in mirror
 He won't do this again
 'Cause tonight will be the last time
 She'll wonder where he's been
 The thunder rolls
 And the lightnin' strikes
 Another love grows cold, darlin'
 On a sleepless night
 As the storm blows on
 Out of control
 Deep in her heart
 The thunder rolls
