From My Balcony 
Copyright August 16, 2008 Corinne Curcio

V1
Striking lightning
Dark clouds form
Violent thunder
Approaching storm

V2
Fierce summer rain
Quick - get inside
That tree you're under
Is no place to hide

Chorus
I see it all
With a watchful eye
From my balcony
Best seat in the house
14 stories high
A free show just for me

V3
Then gray clears away
Young and old hearts yearn
A promise every day
Of the Sun's return

V4
I'm anticipating
That something more
Will soon come my way
Well worth waiting for 

Chorus

V5
There in the distance
Is my answer why
Bright colors arched 
And etched in the sky

V6
Some say a rainbow's
A trick of light and air
Find your own meaning
For why it's there

I'd like to hear the song that goes with these lyrics, maybe with an accompaniment like the ending to Fingal's Cave or the middle section of William Tell Overture. Great imagination, Corinne, a real breath of fresh air. Love, daver
