It was just past two when the call came through
And the duty officer stirred
A shaking voice at the end of the line
She wasn't liking what she heard

The thunder still was raging
The rain was pissing down
Since dinnertime that afternoon
The storm had soaked the ground

She shook as she took it down and she rapidly realised
She's gonna be needed at the scene
She's gonna need to go outside

It was a twenty minute drive out to
the farm on the edge of the old estate
The kind of a drive you don't want to make in the night in a storm when you've been up so late
She doesn't know what she'll find
She doesn't know what she'll find
But as she parks up on the drive
And knocks upon the door
A crying woman opens up and tells her what she saw

And she swears she saw it there
Lit up by the lightening sheets (it had dirty thick brown hair)
She can see you don't believe her
but she doesn't even care

'Cause She knows what she saw
And she swears she saw the bear

The officer said
I can see you're upset and I can see that you're not fine
before we go on and I write this all down
I must remind you wasting police time is a crime

Do you have some evidence a photo I can see?
She said I can do much so so so much better
Come on and follow me

Put your face against the window press your nose against the pane
Pay close attention, 'cause it's hard to see
its hard to see with all the rain
Now just wait for the lightning
Just wait for the lightning
Just wait for the lightning

You never know what you'll see
You never know what can be
If you can wait a moment
If you can trust it's not a lie
You're going to see a bear being lit up by the sky

And she swears she saw it there
Lit up by the lightening sheets (it had dirty thick brown hair)
She can see you don't believe her
but she doesn't even care

Cause She knows what she saw
And she swears she saw the bear

And she says
I know what you think of the state of my mind
And I thank you for patiently waiting for lightening

I know what you think that I think about you
I've no reason to doubt what you're saying is true

Looking really hard
And the clouds exploded light
And rain kept on pouring
A shadow of a something
A shadow of a something
I'm not sure what I see
I need to take a closer look
Come on and follow me

Ssssh

You hear the bear go.... ROAR....
