V1. 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. V2. 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. CHORUS 1: 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. V3. 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. CHORUS 2: 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. V4. 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.
