Trials and tribulations of life
This song is about a stranger living in a strange land trying to find a way
to make his life work against the odds and after a while managing to figure it all out.
And that old familiar cloud
called loneliness rolls on in
to shade my heart and chill my mind
And that old familiar feeling
of wandering lingers on
to the places l've left behind
Oh Lord won't you weather me
And it's just like coming home again
When you're ship comes in you just have to grin
and you know it's going to work out fine
Sitting on the porch killing time
Making peace with the long white cloud and blue
White cloud and blue
Oh Lord won't you weather me
Oh Lord won't you weather me
Oh easy on my mind
l thought of things that l once new
and tried to rest my mind for just a while
Then low and behold just like cold
the rain blew in and turned my heart to stone
It turned to stone
Oh Lord won't you weather me
