Trouble Gonna Come

Trouble gonna come like a heart attack
Like a locust swarm turn the sun to black
All the things I knew, I don’t know no more
Trouble gonna come to us I’m sure

Trouble gonna come drowning me like waves
How did I become the one nobody saves
All the things I’ve done I cannot undo
Trouble gonna come, if nothing else is true

Gallows on a hill
God damned on a tree
And if God is dead
What is that to me?
Trampling out our wrath
On his flesh and blood
A vintage pouring out
Swallowing us

Tender is the night, in it the blind can see
But for those with sight, it’s hard to believe
But it’s not hard for me, to kick against the goads
To beat the beast that speaks upon the angel road
So to the spirit wind, I sing my aching song
Trouble gonna come, it won’t be long
