Little Feat — A Distant Thunder

Give my best to thosei I care for With firends a simple nod will do I bow to those who've come and gone before me A handshake to the past It gets me through Been a little bit good and a little bit sad Let the dirt and dust fall where it may A distant thunder and it takes my breath away Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears Oh cover my tears Measured distance through the heartbeats Measured time holds all my beliefs These shotgun visions are all I've ever lived with A scattered mind from a reckless youth I cover my ears, I cover my eyes Still all the fears, still heard the lies A distant thunder and it takes my breath away Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears Oh cover my tears Took convention for a rough ride A genius under glass set adrift Direction all but fading Like a kiss that leaves you floating in a trance The rivers I cross the memories I keep A minute to smile, forever to weep A distant thunder and it takes my breath away Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears Oh cover my tears A distand thunder, I feel like I'm slippin' under Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky Of all those times that I've turned and looked away A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears Oh cover my tears
