Thunderheads

Yonder way, in the distance

Thunderheads comin' 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

Comin' 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 nothin' 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

Smilin' at that mean old Devil

Sure don't like the sun

No he sure don't like it none

Comin' 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 nothin' never more

Nevermore, no no, nevermore

Comin' 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 nothin' nevermore

Nevermore, no no, nevermore
