Lyrics: Thunderheads

The kids are playing in the sand Supper's on the table
and there's promise in the sky And my hair is nearly
dry You're not praying, so I do You're out there on
your ginger mare Not so much a prayer for rain But
a desperate prayer for you Like a heartless lover's
lie Thunderheads blow across the mesa 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 I know you can't admit
it That you've lost and nature's won Across the dying
sun That thunderheads will blow away 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 When it rains the dust will die We'll listen
to the music on the roof We'll laugh again and love
And we'll lie upon the sheets And fall asleep Just
like the years when we had rain Then you'll feel the
need to let me Near your heart again
