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
Ainâ‚¬â„¢t nothinâ‚¬â„¢ I ainâ‚¬â„¢t seen
From the Mekong River to the
San Joaquin
I made it down to Helena
But itâ‚¬â„¢s 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 donâ‚¬â„¢t 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 â‚¬Ëœround
Some were prayin, some were cryinâ‚¬â„¢
They were talkinâ‚¬â„¢ 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 morninâ‚¬â„¢
Try the best I can
To make it one more day
In a world I donâ‚¬â„¢t understand
Now the sun babyâ‚¬â„¢s shininâ‚¬â„¢
But thereâ‚¬â„¢s darkness on the land
And I canâ‚¬â„¢t find my way baby
Unless you take my hand.

Yeah I, I wake up every morninâ‚¬â„¢ 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.
