(Verlon Thompson/Mark D. Sanders)

Well, I pray I'm wrong
But I feel you stealin away from me
Your heart's a-beatin to a chain-gang song
Well, you just can't help it if you got be a thief

And steal the thunder from the sky
The water from the river
You can have the winter wind
It only makes me shiver
Take the snow off of the moutain
The wave off of the sea
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me

Now tell the truth
I know you did, but do you love me now
One thing I've learned from a woman like you
It ain't safe if it ain't nailed down

Steal the thunder from the sky
The water from the river
You can have the winter wind
It only makes me shiver
Take the snow off of the mountain
The wave off of the sea
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me

So steal the thunder from the sky
The water from the river
You can have the winter wind
It only makes me shiver
Take the snow off of the mountain
The wave off of the sea
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me
