Words Like Thunder Lyrics

A storm is rolling in

I'm hibernating in my den

Contemplating Now and Then and words like Thunder

Bolted under my feet

To the corner where my shadow meets myself,

Completes my thought like it was winter

If I can picture a moment or two ago

I photograph the sunlight refracting my lens

And if I can picture it at all all depends

Largely on whether or not it ever happened

I've seen them in the wind

Sliding by me now and then

And noted how many humans pretend never to notice

Never to know this

But far be it from me

To believe in anything other than me, myself, and my own mind

I'll take it as a sign

That I can picture a moment or two ago

I photograph the sunlight refracting my lens

And if I can picture it at all all depends

Largely upon the fact that it happens at all

Something that's happening now

Makes you giggle and grin

No wondering how now and then it begins to feel so real

And that's how I know

That the past will by no means outlast any present

Because the future is

Dan's idea of time as just a prolonged punchline
