goodnight, texas - the lightning and the old man todd lyrics
[verse 1]
this is the story of the old man todd
and the mystery around his madness
always said it was a hit from god
i think it was a life of sadness
never spoke of it for 50 years
the town knew him as a quiet spirit
wife died in a lightning strike
he wished he could have been right near it
[chorus]
pleasant weather
day after day
beg for storm clouds
to come and take him away
meet god
and ask why
he was spared
and she died
[verse 2]
my grandfather knew the old man todd
when they were kids in a house for foster
sang a hymn on his wеdding day
and watched him disappear when hе lost her
still reclusive after 50 years
still hoping she can somehow hear him
flying kites at the end of the road
still wishing she could be right near him
[chorus]
pleasant weather
day after day
beg for storm clouds
to come and take him away
meet god
and ask why
he was spared
and she died
pleasant weather
day after day
beg for storm clouds
to come and take him away
meet god
and ask why
he was spared
and she died
hid her necklace in the chimney top
it got struck and shattered brightly
fireball k!lled the old man todd
but some say they still see him in the lightning
