Dave Alvin - Black Sky lyrics

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, aint nothin I aint seen From the Mekong river to the San Joaquin I made it down to Helena but its 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 dont 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 dont understand Now the sun babys shinin but theres darkness on the land And I cant 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
