While the first two more melancholic tracks of Concerto for a Rainy Day talk about rain as a symbol of negative thoughts, “Summer and Lighting” illustrates the mood of the protagonist as a warm summer thunderstorm.
This feeling finally climaxes in the last song of the suite, Mr. Blue Sky.
[Verse 1]
I have waited for your love
For so long, how do I go on?
I have told you so many times
It's no good, you're treatin' me so wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Out there, so far away (So far away)
Above, the sky will say
For you
[Chorus]
Here it comes again
It's all around me
It must be magic
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I can see you (I see you) in my mind (In my mind)
The lost time (Losin' time) that you're savin'
I could reach out (I reach out) and touch you (Touchin' you)
What can I do (What can I do)? The sun ain't shinin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Out there, so far away
Above, the sky will say
For you, only for you
[Chorus]
Here it comes again
(Summer and lightning)
It's all around me
(Summer and lightning)
It must be magic
(Summer and lightning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
Here it comes again
[Bridge]
I can feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it
You!
[Chorus]
Here it comes again
(Summer and lightning)
It's all around me
(Summer and lightning)
It must be magic
(Summer and lightning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Oh, here it comes again
(Summer and lightning)
I can feel it
(Summer and lightning)
It's all around me
(Summer and lightning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Summer and lightning)...
