There’s a black cloud over this house

That’s been around for three years now

There’s a thunderstorm inside

And it won’t go away



That’s why they call it a union

That’s why they call it a union

So both of you please forgive me tonight

That’s why they call it a union

So please forgive me tonight



I remember him turning around

He said, ‘Son, I’ll be leaving now,

I can’t be the person that you want me to be’

And then she said, ‘So things are ending now,

I knew you’d be walking out,

You can’t be the person that you want me to be.’



Three years of all the arguments

Three years of all this silence

Has been enough, to last me a lifetime

Three years of all the arguments

Three years of all this pain



That’s why they call it a union

That’s why they call it a union

So both of you please forgive me tonight

That’s why they call it a union

So please forgive me tonight



I can’t look at the pictures anymore

Because I know how it’s run it’s course

And I know how the story ends

I know it ends



There’s a black cloud over this house

That’s been around for three years now

There’s a thunderstorm inside

And another fight tonight



There’s a black cloud over this house

That’s been around for three years now

There’s a thunderstorm inside

And it won’t go away; no it won’t go away
