Black Sky |
Baby black sky |
Black sky is all I see |
Yeah baby black sky |
Black sky is all I see |
Please stand beside me baby |
Shine your light for me |
Well I been all around the world |
Ain’t nothin' I ain’t seen |
From the Mekong River to the |
San Joaquin |
I made it down to Helena |
But it’s just a ghost town |
And I got to Jackson |
But they tore old Jackson down |
Yeah I been around the world |
Black sky is all I see |
Why don’t you stand beside me baby |
Shine your light for me |
Baby well I went to the graveyard |
To see my friend one last time |
People gathered ‘round |
Some were prayin, some were cryin' |
They were talkin' about heaven |
And the final judgement day |
But all I could do was say goodbye to him |
Turn and walk away |
Yeah I went to the graveyard |
But black sky was all I seen |
Please stand beside me baby |
Shine your light for me |
I wake up every mornin' |
Try the best I can |
To make it one more day |
In a world I don’t understand |
Now the sun baby’s shinin' |
But there’s darkness on the land |
And I can’t find my way baby |
Unless you take my hand |
Yeah I, I wake up every mornin' baby |
Black sky is all I see |
Please stand beside me baby |
Shine your light for me |
Yeah black sky |
Black sky is all I see |
Please shine your light pretty baby |
Take this black sky away from me |
