When that storm comes, don't run for cover,
When that storm comes, don't run for cover,
When that storm comes, don't run for cover,
Don't run from the coming storm, no there ain't no use in running.

When that rain falls, let it wash away,
When that rain falls, let it wash away,
When that rain falls, let it wash away,
Let it wash away, that falling rain, the tears and the troubles.

When those lights flash, and you hear that thunder roar,
When those lights flash, and you hear that thunder roar,
When those lights flash, and you hear that thunder roar,
Will you listen to that thunder roar and let your spirits soar.

When that love calls, open up your door,
When that love calls, open up your door,
When that love calls, open up your door,

You gotta stand on up and let it in, you gotta let love through your door.

*Instrumental interlude*

When that storm comes, don't run for cover,
When that storm comes, don't run for cover,
When that storm comes, don't run for cover,
Don't run from the coming storm, 'cause it can't keep a storm from coming.

Storm comes, (storm comin', yeah), don't run for cover,
When that storm comes, don't run for cover,
When that storm comes, (storm comin', yeah), don't run for cover,
No, don't run from the coming storm, 'cause it can't keep a storm from coming.
(It can't keep a storm from coming.) *x8*

One of the best concerts I attended last year, here in Greenville, SC. Gunter theater was the perfect venue; voices were chrystal clear!!

They can make their three voices sound like 4 or 5. I've seen them perform a few times, and I swear I hear more vocal parts going than there are vocalists on the stage. Stunning.

I've seen these ladies a few times. As a singer, I unconsciously sing along, searching for an unsung third or fourth part, and, even tho there are only three of them, I can't find any unsung parts. I am stunned every time I hear them with the beauty of their voices and arrangements. And that feeling carries thru into their recorded music as well.

There's a difference between gospel style music and "Christian dogma."  I believe this falls into the former.  Beautiful song.

Perhaps it is because Ruth Moody used to be in the Duhks and is one of the founding members of the Jennys?

In fact, Ruth Moody (one of the Wailin' Jennys) used to be in The Duhks.  Now, the original Duhks fiddle player backs up the Jennys.

Love her voice, she's got soul. I hear some of both Allison Krause and Emmylou in there, interesting that the previous poster thought this was a piece they were both in.

For once I disagree with the majority here.

I find the group rather appropriately named. Wailing. Tedious. Writing 8 bars of music and repeating them with the exact same vocal harmonies for an eternity. RP plays two tracks from this album, and both of them would be dangerous for me to listen to while driving.
