soft thunder from across the meadow rain buckets on the kitchen floor an old letter and the coffins empty but all these storms i know will weather all these storms we ll ride together i never dreamed it would be so hard girl never saved up for a rainy day never thought that we might howl and shiver but all these storms i know will weather all these storms we ll ride together pick up your heart my love pick up your branch and dove canon in the name of the lord we got a hole to mend we got a fire to tend we won t let these troubles grind us we got friends and prayers to mind us we got seven years behind us long rumble coming across the meadow rain pouring and the buckets full sky cracking and the house shaking all these storms i know will weather all these storms we ll ride together pick up your heart my love pick up your branch and dove canon in the name of the lord my lady look alive our ride will soon arrive lift up your eyes my dear we need some light in here jam til the jam is through we ve got a hole to mend we ve got a fire to tend we won t let these troubles find us we got prayers on the road behind us we got heavens horse s bridle all these storms we ll ride together
