She Steers By Lightning - Richard Thompson

She’s telling me she don’t need headlights

She’s telling me the storm is friendly

She says the volts are inviting

She talks in couplets, she steers by lightning

She takes a knife to my seatbelt

She says the brakes need mending

She says my mood needs heightening

She talks in couplets, she steers by lightning

Two angels sitting in the back seat

They’re pointing at their watches

I feel eternity biting

She talks in couplets, she steers by lightning

My Maggie, she’s got a loose one

She uses Milton as a road map

My Maggie, she is a bright thing

She talks in couplets, she steers by lightning
