Thunder on the Pavement

by Iron Marrow

“The street was our first stage and a cold stone corner was our first PA. It is the twin-guitar harmony we practised most.”

Lyrics

No stage, no lights, just a cold stone street
A battered guitar and a heavy beat
Rain on my shoulders, steel in my hands
I play for the tired and the ones who stand

Come on, come closer, hear what I bring
One loud voice and a string

Thunder on the pavement, fire in the rain
I'll play till the whole street sings my name
Thunder on the pavement, nothing to lose
The street is my stage and the sky is my muse
Thunder on the pavement

A kid in a hood lifts his fist up high
An old man nods as the crowd walks by
Every coin that falls is a spark in the night
Every note I play is a burning light

Come on, come closer, hear what I bring
One loud voice and a string

Thunder on the pavement, fire in the rain
I'll play till the whole street sings my name
Thunder on the pavement, nothing to lose
The street is my stage and the sky is my muse
Thunder on the pavement

Hear it roar, hear it ring
Hear the street begin to sing
Hear it rise, hear it grow
Hear the thunder down below

Thunder on the pavement, fire in the rain
I'll play till the whole street sings my name
Thunder on the pavement, nothing to lose
The street is my stage and the sky is my muse
Thunder on the pavement

Thunder on the pavement
Thunder on the pavement
