Black Sky Lyrics by Brewer & Shipley

Rural Space

0

Well I sure take it with me wherever I go
And you might like to see it but it never does show
Like a wind in the valley that never does blow
Like the grass in the back you never did mow

It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
It's a woman waitin', standin' on the bridge
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
It's everything you do and nothin' that you did

Well you might see me drivin' in the wrong side of town
And you might see me shinin' when the rain's comin' down
Like a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and found
Like a coon that's runnin' from a red bone hound

It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
It's a woman waitin', standin' on the bridge
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
It's everything you do and nothin' that you did

Wo-o-o talking bout Black Sky
Talkin’ bout a Black Sky

Well the wood keeps burnin' in the old wood stove
And the cows keep goin' where they done been drove
And a light keeps glowin' in a dead man's cove
And a loom keeps spinnin' where the weave gets wove
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
It's a woman waitin', standin' on the bridge
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
It's everything you do and nothin' that you did

Wo-o-o talking bout Black Sky
Talkin’ bout Black Sky
I’m talking bout Black Sky
I’m talking bout Black Sky

I’m talking bout Black Sky
