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 meWell, 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 downYeah, I been around the world
Black sky is all I see
Why dont you stand beside me baby?
Shine your light for meBaby, 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 awayYeah, I went to the graveyard
But black sky was all I seen
Please stand beside me baby
Shine your light for meI 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 handYeah I, I wake up every mornin baby
Black sky is all I see
Please stand beside me baby
Shine your light for meYeah, black sky
Black sky is all I see
Please shine your light pretty baby
Take this black sky away from me
