Lyrics
[Verse]
Billy was a poor boy
Down in East L.A.
He worked the clubs and streets at night
Tryin' to make his way
[Verse 2
Empty rooms in small-time bars
Wherever said they’d pay
He'd sing with an old guitar
He taught himself to play
[Bridge]
One night a girl came in from
The cold pourin' rain
He didn't know it there and then that
Nothin' would be the same
[Chorus]
To the sound of thunder
He closed his eyes and played
She asked when it was over
How he played that way
He said the lights of Amber
Always gave him strength
She smiled, then she whispered...
That’s my name
[Verse 3]
They sat and talked, until closin'
Then went outside
She asked him where he was goin’
And offered him a ride
[Verse 4]
Said, til she came in he was goin' to
Where his mother went that night
Then showed her the Amber necklace
She left when she died giving Billy life
[Instrument Solo Break]
[Chorus]
To the sound of thunder
He closed his eyes and played
She asked when it was over
How do you that way
He said the lights of Amber
Always gave him strength
And she smiled as she whispered...
That’s my name
[Melodic Instrument Fade Out]
