Cloudburst Songtext
von Thrift Store Cowboys

I went riding out one morning
Thunderclouds out west were forming
Sky was black by noon that day
Did not make home before the rain
Here I′m lost and wandering
Not knowing what the storm will bring
Fate looming, assuming
I'm through
Every landmark looks the same
I′m not the first to see this fate
Storm seems that it will not fold
I'm soaked and growing ever cold
No conception of the time
Water now up to my thigh
Fate looming, assuming
I'm through
Now I return to the earth
From which I came
Thunder pounds on me still I know


I′m to blame
Voices in my mind echo past prayers for rain
Land is washed away as the rivers
Crush their banks
Rain breaks finally that night
My home is nowhere I can find
Everything just washed away
Back to the earth from which it came
New plans in my head are pouring
Out west more black clouds are forming
Fate looming, assuming
It′s not through
Now I return to the earth
From which I came
Thunder pounds on me still I know
I'm to blame
Somewhere in my mind echo past prayers for rain
Land is washed away as the rivers
Crush their banks
