Songwriter's Challenge

So the coffee shop I've been terrorizing with my off key singing and problematic guitar playing has a songwriter's challenge.  Not quite sure how the challenge works, but I know the theme is Dancing, and the deadline is tonight.  So I'm going to write this song and hopefully perform it tonight.


There's thunder in my heart
that won't quiet down,
there's voices in my head
that drag me around

And though it feels allright
when i feed my restlessness
There's still a little girl
that I'll always miss

and I
lay awake at night and can't lose the day
and then i think of her and it slips away
I watch her
dance

It was last september
since last I was home
I hope she remembers
that I love her so

The thunder is a pounding
in my restless soul
but now it's telling me
it's time to go home

and I

lay awake at night and can't lose the day
and then i think of her and it slips away
I watch her
dance

and the lightning screams
through my restless dreams
i packed my things
and baby I'm coming home
to see you dance
