Black Sky

Lyrics

(HARP & GUITAR INTRO) 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 that 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 (HARP & GUITAR DITTY) 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 (HARP & GUITAR DITTY) 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
