Black Sky Lyrics - Singles - Dave Alvin

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
