Thunderheads

[Verse 1] The kids are playing in the sand And my hair is nearly dry Supper's on the table and there's promise in the sky You're out there on your ginger mare You're not praying, so I do Not so much a prayer for rain But a desperate prayer for you [Chorus] Thunderheads blow across the mesa Like a heartless lover's lie Thunderheads across the mountains As another dream goes by They glow like clouds from heaven But the devil has to have his way Thunderheads will bring you to your knees And make you pray for a rainy day [Verse 2] I know you can't admit it That you've lost and nature's won That thunderheads will blow away Across the dying sun So don't try to tell me darling How your heart's lost to the land I don't need your explanations I just want to hold your hand [Chorus] Thunderheads blow across the mesa Like a heartless lover's lie Thunderheads across the mountains As another dream goes by They glow like clouds from heaven But the devil has to have his way Thunderheads will bring you to your knees And make you pray for a rainy day [Verse 3] When it rains the dust will set And we'll lie upon the sheets We'll listen to the music on the roof And fall asleep We'll laugh again and love Just like the years when we had rain Then you'll feel the need to let me Near your heart again [Chorus] Thunderheads blow across the mesa Like a heartless lover's lie Thunderheads across the mountains As another dream goes by They glow like clouds from heaven But the devil has to have his way Thunderheads will bring you to your knees And make you pray for a rainy day Thunderheads blow across the mesa Like a heartless lover's lie Thunderheads across the mountains As another dream goes by They glow like clouds from heaven But the devil has to have his way Thunderheads will bring you to your knees And make you pray for a rainy day
