Black Sky

Well, I sure take it with me wherever I go And you might like to see it, but it never does show Like the 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' on the wrong side of town And you might see me shinin' when the rain's come down Likе a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and found Like a coon that's runnin' from a red bonе 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 Well, the wood keeps burnin' in the old wood stove And the cows keep goin' where they done been drove And the light keeps glowin' in 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
