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
