Lyrics
The sun is high in a cloudless sky
But there are storm clouds in the East
And armies have formed in that great storm
That will blow away man and beast
Trouble will come, trouble will come
Trouble will come they say
But ?til then, I?m safe and warm
In your arms for another day
And if I should have to go to war,
Say you?ll wait for me
And no matter the toll of shot and shell
I promise to return to thee
Trouble will come?
And if I should die on some distant field
Hold our babe and weep
And I will return in the sun and wind
That gently kiss your cheek
Trouble will come
