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.
