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
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
Baby, where will you wait? 
Where will you go
When the tide's rushing in the
And the cold winds come blowing?
Baby, when the thunderhead's raging
I will shelter you without breaking
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
Baby, where will you wait? 
Where will you go
When the tide's rushing 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 rolling
Mine will be the hand that you're holding
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
