Rain clouds rolling on a hickory wind
There's a promise in the air of a storm coming in
No way of knowing when it's gonna begin
But there's lightning in the sky

Wasted words on a hurricane gale
Cut like a knife, coming down like hail
Better start praying that the levy don't fail
'Cause the river's bound to rise

Will we still be standing
In the morning light
This night is just beginning
No end in sight
There's no end in sight

Backs to the wall and we're drawing a line

You on your side and me on mine
Both of us knowing it's a matter of time
Till it all comes down

Will we still be standing
In the morning light
This night is just beginning
No end in sight
There's no end in sight

Better find the strength to face it
Make up for the time we've wasted
No excuses, no use running
Both of us can see it coming

Will we still be standing
In the morning light
This night is just beginning
No end in sight
There's no end in sight
