Lyrics
You never know where you have been before
But now you wonder
You?ll never find it where it was before
Blown under cover
You never know who you may come upon
On the tundra
You never know if there?ll be anyone
On the tundra
Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra
Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra
You may forget where you have wandered from
On the tundra
She found me lost where I had never come
On the tundra
She stepped out of the midnight sheet of sun
My first sighting
She walked toward me and my heart was struck
Like lightning
Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra
Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra
(I think, I think of you ... I watch, I watch for you ...
I dream, I dream of you ... I stand motionless for you)
Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra
Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra
