lyrics

Been searching so long got to find a home
A place to lay your head and bones
Got to go back to where you're from
Before another black cloud come on

Been digging a hole outside it shows
A face that has become unknown
Got to go where the get is pure
Then to the shelter of our good lord

The Black Cloud Come on
Brings the rain in
Back out on the street again for more
He's a poor boy
Out to score boy
All on his own

He's making some room with a broken broom
A space behind some dusty pews
A Who'd a-known in it's day it shone
But that all seems so very long ago

He's cooking his spoon as he hums a tune
"Oh Happy Day" or some gospel blues
Feeling safe and he's a-feelin' warm
Until another Black cloud come on

The Black Cloud Come on
Brings the rain in
Back out on the street again for more
He's a poor boy
Out to score boy
All on his own
