    Lyrics
    once we stood in summer under Arizona skies
    halfway to the border/i kept a weather eye
    she said once i saw a butterfly/glowing velvet rust
    but when i took it in my hand/it crumbled into dust
    while we walked i hadn't noticed but we'd come upon the tracks
    she came from down in Mexico and that freight train brought her back

    tell me it's not so
    summer blooms don't disappear beneath the winter snow
    if we can feel electric once you know
    it'll be there when we touch again
    that voltage never goes

    then i was in Morocco on a cloudy Atlas night
    the fire was spitting sparks/we traded tenderness for sight
    she raised her head then i could hear that far-off whistle blow
    she looked at me/already i could feel the undertow
    said i don't want to see you fading in another railroad car
    someone told me once you can't catch lightning in a jar

    tell me it's not so
    summer blooms don't disappear beneath the winter snow
    if we can feel electric once you know
    it'll be there when we touch again
    that voltage never goes

    so i'm westbound on the coastal line
    steaming towards the waves
    will i be swept away again/will no one come to save me
    i have been a whispered prayer/rolling down the years
    and i have seen them turn away/laughter in my ears
    why is my love wasted on so many rolling stones?
    they have gathered nothing/and i am left alone

    tell me it's not so
    summer blooms don't disappear beneath the winter snow
    if we can feel electric once you know
    it'll be there when we touch again
    that voltage never goes
    it's been there all my life
    it arcs through everything
    i know
