Track 8 from their sixth, known as the "COW" album released in 1976 copyright Epic Records. It was the last studio album for bassist Gregg Philbin RIP, and featured the return of Kevin Cronin on lead vocals & rhythm guitar after he and Gary Richrath buried the hatchet to focus on creating more great music. On several previous releases, Gary Richrath had sung lead vocals on one track per album but for this one he was the lead or co-lead vocalist on half the songs. This was the turning point for them, with greatness lying ahead. It received average reviews and reached No. 159 on the Billboard chart. Recorded from the original vinyl. Written by Gary Richrath & Kevin Cronin and produced by John Stronach. RIP Gary Richrath & Gregg Philbin. Featuring:

Kevin Cronin - Lead vocals, rhythm guitars & background vocals

Cool as the water meltin' from the winter snows
You are the island I been lookin’ for
I don't know where you come from but I can feel you comin' on
You're a storm inside my soul that's ragin' outta control

Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh, lightnin’, only you can will the weather
I said come on, won't ya come on?

Lightning, you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
I saw you in your evenin’ gown, you were lightin’ up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightnin', you're mine tonight
Oh-oh, lightnin', you're mine tonight

Crack the horizon, only you can split the night
Then comes your mother cloud to take you away
Another wind will dry me and the sun will make me warm
But to me my life will always be the calm before the storm

Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh, lightnin’, only you can will the weather
I said come on, won't ya come on?

Lightnin', you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
I saw you in your evening gown, you were lightin’ up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightnin', you're mine tonight
Oh, lightnin', you're mine tonight

Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh, lightnin’, only you can will the weather
I said come on, oh-ooh-whoa come on

Lightnin' you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
Well, I saw you in your evening gown, you were lightin’ up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightnin', you're mine tonight
Oh-ooh-woah, now, lightnin', you're mine tonight
