Lyrically, quite possibly one of the greatest pop rock songs ever. I love how the lightning/thunder reference goes from youthful sexuality:
"And oh the wonder Felt the lightning And we waited on the thunder"
to age and the melancholy of death in one simple verse:
"I woke last night to the sound of thunder How far off I sat and wondered ....With autumn closing in"
This is a song any serious song writer should study. So compact, every line with significance and impact.
