40 Days In Kansas

40 days in Kansas

40 nights in pain

This world took my fame

That world took my name

Here go I with nothing

Here go I the same

White swan on the river

Black swan in the rain

I could hear the thunder

Rolling far away

Moses hid the water

Jesus hid the sky

We just hid the in-between

And kissed it all goodbye

Catch me when I'm falling

Catch me in the rise

Wash me in the river

Hold me in your mind

I could hear the thunder

Rolling far behind

Thunder roll

For the evening with its blue-black tone

Thunder roll

For the morning with its great unknown

Thunder roll its bones

White wing on the water

Black wing on the sand

Red wing in the sunset

I can hardly stand

Sleeping in the doorway

With a bottle in your hand

I could hear the thunder

Rolling across the land

Thunder roll

For the young blushing groom and bride

Thunder roll

For the old with their tired eyes

Thunder roll goodbye
