"Thunderhead" Lyrics

There's a black cloud rising, broad and wide
Like a dark horizon before my eyes.
Better pray for peace, and guard my kin
'Cause the thunderhead is rolling in.

See the branches swaying, the waters crash
Through the deeper valley where few will pass.
I will set my feet, and raise my chin
When the thunderhead comes rolling in.

Baby, where will you wait? Where will you go
When the tide's rushin' in, the and the cold winds come blowing?
Baby, when the thunderhead's raging,
I will shelter you without breaking.

Keep your lantern burning while skies go dark.
Travel light and fleeting should you embark
On a journey forged of rugged ground
And a thunderhead comes bearing down.

Baby, where will you wait? Where will you go
When the tide's rushin' in, the and the cold winds come blowing?
Baby, when the thunderhead's raging,
I will shelter you without breaking.
Baby, when the thunderhead's rollin',
Mine will be the hand that you're holding.

Hold me close and steady, do not lose heart
When the rest go running, I'll not depart.
We will find that well of hope within
When the thunderhead comes rolling in.
