One Jump Ahead of the Storm - Kiki Dee

There’s lightning’s flashing in my mirror

Thunder’s rolling up behind

Big blue clouds are going to roll in

Full of tears to make me blind

I can’t let his memory catch me

I can’t stop to cry no more

I’m just running down the highway

One jump ahead of the storm

One jump ahead of the crying

One jump ahead of his cold deceiving arms

One jump ahead of the lying

One jump ahead of the storm

One day I looked on the horizon

I saw his love just wouldn’t last

Before my mind was torn to pieces

I had to leave and get out fast

So I slipped out of his power

I saw my chance and got me gone

Before the rain could start to falling

One jump ahead of the storm

One jump ahead of the crying

One jump ahead of his cold deceiving arms

One jump ahead of the lying

One jump ahead of the storm

One jump ahead of the storm

Said I’m one jump ahead of the storm

Got to keep on running down the highway

Got to keep on running down the highway
