Henry Crook Bird - Borrowing Trouble Lyrics

I'm writing you this song in bits and pieces
Across the rolling valley far and wide
And as the summer showers cleanse my aching body
I can feel the thunder rumbling at your side

So may the lightning set the land ablaze
Up and down the mountain range
We brace ourselves against it every year
We'll watch the smoke eat up the sky
And make it through very much alive
These storms don't burn forever on my dear

I did hesitate to put it all in writing
For there's a mighty weight of love out on the line
But we've built this brick by brick up for the better
There's no surprise to this foundation that you'll find

My mother told me not to borrow trouble
Cause there ain't nobody out there lending time
So I won't pick this all apart down into rubble
This day before us now is yours and mine

So I'll lay frozen here no longer
There's a warm and winding path I can't deny
We can beat the trail and walk the range together
And thank the gods above for what we find

My mother told me not to borrow trouble
Cause there ain't nobody out there lending time
So I won't pick this all apart down into rubble
This day before us now is yours and mine
