Like a Bolt from the Blue Lyrics

I walked into a dive bar, I made myself at home

At a table topped with linen in a corner all to my own

I swear the waitress was a specter, a haunter of barflies by night

So pallid she was almost translucent in the incandescent light

I vied for her attention, alas to no avail

A throat to dry to swallow, a thirst beyond the pale

Then it came, just like a bolt from the blue it pounced upon me

A sensation that I can't explain

But in that moment I felt something so damn real, so damn true

I knew I'd feel it again someday

So stunned by this sensation, I forgot my own name

I forgot my frustrations, forgot the waitress I thought was to blame

I left my seat, and I left the bar, no drinks no tab, we're good

But when I walked out into the evening I was met with a sight that I never understood

Stop, recollect, and correct it, something ain't as it should be

I don't know any of these people, but they seem so familiar to me

Then it came, just like a bolt from the blue it pounced upon me

A sensation that I can't explain

But in that moment I felt something so damn real, so damn true

I knew I'd feel it again someday

Love is all I've got, it's all I've got, like it or not--Love

Love is all I've got, it's all I've got, take it or not--Love
