Lyrics
Blue Skies Back
Poor lost pilgrim on a dead end road
Cold hard comfort makes a heavy load
I feel every lost promise like a thunder crack
But don’t bring my blue skies back
When I woke this morning it was dead and still
Had a hole inside me only God could fill
I have first hand knowledge of what a soul can lack
But don’t bring my blue skies back
‘Cause I like it good and dirty let the rain come down
Gonna dig for my redemption in the mud of this town
There’s fire on my left side, hounds on my right
There’s demons in the shadows that come for me at night
Well I’ve got one thin dollar and a worn out prayer
Got a cold bed waiting at the top of the stairs
Take all your pity baby, put it in a sack
Just don’t bring my blue skies back
When the darkness takes you it’s a long way down
Till your soul lies naked on the frozen ground
I keep all your good wishes in a pretty little stack
But don’t bring my blue skies back
‘Cause I like it good and dirty let the rain come down
Gonna dig for my redemption in the mud of this town
There’s fire on my left side, hounds on my right
There’s demons in the shadows that come for me at night
Well I’ve got one thin dollar and a worn out prayer
Got a cold bed waiting at the top of the stairs
Take all your pity baby, put it in a sack
Just don’t bring my blue skies back
Just don’t bring my blues skies back
Just don’t bring my blues skies back
