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've been all around the world
Ain't nothing that 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've been around the world
Black sky is all I see
Why don't you stand beside me, baby
Shine your light for me
Well, I went to the graveyard
To see my friend one last time
People gathered 'round
Some were praying, some were crying
They were talking about Heaven
And the final judgment 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 see
Please stand beside me, baby
Shine your light for me
I wake up every morning
Try the best I can
To make it one more day
In a world I don't understand
Now the sun may be shining
But there's darkness on the land
And I can't find my way, baby
Unless you take my hand
Yeah, I wake up every morning, 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
