Thunderheads

(album: 30 - 2012)

Yonder way, in the distance
Thunderheads coming down
Yesterday the sky was golden
The days before, well they'd been good
Every one that goes up, must come down
It's gravity

But staying grounded, safely still
Robs the wanderer of being afraid
Hammer down as you quest, friend
To pick up speed through that next town
I point my face into the wind, friend
To exorcise the tragedies
That come with my free will

Coming down from the mountain
Trips me up and makes me feel
Like I can never find my way
Back to the top
And if Jesus calls before I wake
I'll consider that break
And I will ask for nothing nevermore
Nevermore, no no, nevermore

The valley rose, then lay hidden
In the box, without much light
And it gets easy to lose direction
To hide with shadows, to wait for night
And every one that goes down
To get back up and start to heaven

But staying grounded, safely still
In the arms of God that comes your way
Take your time as you start up, friend
Enjoy the view atop the rung
Point your face into the sky, friend
Smiling at that mean old Devil
Sure don't like the sun
No he sure don't like it none

Coming down from the mountain
Trips me up and makes me feel
Like I can never find my way
Back to the top
And if Jesus calls before I wake
I'll consider that break
And I will ask for nothing never more
Nevermore, no no, nevermore

Coming down from the mountain
Trips me up and makes me feel
Like I can never find my way
Back to the top
And if Jesus calls before I wake
I'll consider that break
And I will ask for nothing nevermore
Nevermore, no no, nevermore
