Thunderheads Song Lyrics
Thunderheads by Dixie Chicks Thunderheads written by Lisa Brandenburg and Robin Lynn MacyThe kids are playin' in the sand And my hair is nearly dry Supper's on the table and there's promise in the sky And you're out there on your ginger mare, You're not praying so I do Not so much a prayer for rain As a desperate prayer for youThunderheads blow across the mesa Like a heartless lover's lie Thunderheads across the mountain As another dream goes by They glow like clouds from heaven But the devil has to have his way Thunderheads'll bring you to your knees And make you pray for a rainy dayI 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 handThunderheads blow across the mesa Like a heartless lover's lie Thunderheads across the mountain As another dream goes by They glow like clouds from heaven But the devil has to have his way Thunderheads'll bring you to your knees And make you pray for a rainy dayAnd when it rains the dust will set We'll lie upon the sheets We'll listen to the music on the roof and fall asleep And 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 - near your heart againThunderheads blow across the mesa Like a heartless lover's lie Thunderheads across the mountain As another dream goes by They glow like clouds from heaven But the devil has to have his way Thunderheads'll bring you to your knees And make you pray for a rainy dayThunderheads blow across the mesa Like a heartless lover's lie Thunderheads across the mountain As another dream goes by They glow like clouds from heaven But the devil has to have his way Thunderheads'll bring you to your knees And make you pray for a rainy day
