I saw you taping thunder from your balcony
Saving the sounds, don't trust your memory
I saw you cage the lightning, hold it up so you can see
Through your blue windows looking down at me
Let's wake the roosters, night time's gonna go
We'll walk and talk real soft before the light begins to show
Let's wake the roosters, nice to know you Joe
Let's wake the roosters, ola Joe
Catch the sunrise in a glass
If you turn your back you'll miss it coming up real fast
Set your trap for night time and lie down in the dark
Listen to the thunder, listen to my heart
Let's wake the roosters, night time's gonna go
We'll walk and talk real soft before the light begins to show
Let's wake the roosters, nice to know you Joe
Let's wake the roosters, hey ho ola Joe
Caught you in the rain, it took you by surprise
I'll take you home and dance with you until your clothes are dry
Place your finger on my pulse
I'll keep the sight of you, keep it nice and close
And when I feel the breath of spring on my face
I know the sight and sound of you won't be erased
Let's wake the roosters, night time's gonna go
We'll walk and talk real soft before the light begins to show
Let's wake the roosters, nice to know you Joe
Let's wake the roosters, hey ho ola Joe
