Lyrics
When the Storm Comes
Words and Music by Mark Nesmith
When the storm comes
And there ain’t no place to hide
When that storm comes
You better get yourself inside
When the wind howls
The walls are gonna rattle and shake
When the wind howls
You best kneel down and pray
Best kneel down, best kneel down and pray
Best kneel down, best kneel down and pray
When the thunder booms
And the sun drops out of sight
When the thunder booms
There won’t be no sleep tonight
When the sky falls
It’s dark as far as you can see
When the sky falls
Baby hold on to me
Baby hold on, baby hold on to me
Baby hold on, baby hold on to me
When the rain comes
The levee can’t hold the flood
When the rain comes
Water runs thicker than blood
When the lighting strikes
And the sparks fly through your veins
When the lightning strikes
You know you’ll never be the same
You know you’ll never be, no you’ll never be the same
You know you’ll never be, no you’ll never be the same
When the clouds break
The earth lies quiet and still
When the clouds break
You wonder how you’ll ever rebuild
When that storm comes
And there ain’t no place to hide
When that storm comes
Pray you’re standing in the light
Pray you stand, pray you stand in the light
Pray you stand, pray you stand in the light
