Dave Alvin - Black Sky Lyrics
Dave Alvin(Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI)Baby black skyBlack sky is all I seeYeah baby black skyBlack sky is all I seePlease stand beside me babyShine your light for me.Well I been all around the worldAin't nothin' I ain't seenFrom the Mekong River to theSan JoaquinI made it down to HelenaBut it's just a ghost townAnd I got to JacksonBut they tore old Jackson down.Yeah I been around the worldBlack sky is all I seeWhy don't you stand beside me babyShine your light for me.Baby well I went to the graveyardTo see my friend one last timePeople gathered roundSome were prayin, some were cryin'They were talkin' about heavenAnd the final judgement dayBut all I could do was say goodbye to himTurn and walk away.Yeah I went to the graveyardBut black sky was all I seenPlease stand beside me babyShine your light for me.I wake up every mornin'Try the best I canTo make it one more dayIn a world I don't understandNow the sun baby's shinin'But there's darkness on the landAnd I can't find my way babyUnless you take my hand.Yeah I, I wake up every mornin' babyBlack sky is all I seePlease stand beside me babyShine your light for me.Yeah black skyBlack sky is all I seePlease shine your light pretty babyTake this black sky away from me.
