Baby Blue Sky

Aaron, can you hear the train?
Don't it always sound the same?
Cries low, cries sad
We don't need that

Helen, have you seen little John?
Came home without his left shoe on
Twelve years old
Digging for coal

The sky won't rain, rain, rain, oh rain
The sky won't rain, rain, rain, oh rain
Oh river run low 'til they run dry
Under a baby blue sky, baby blue sky

Helen, the field won't give
Nothing will grow, nothing will live
And the hot son beats down

Oh Helen, feed the baby please
She's been been crying like that for weeks
Oh, and Matthew just said the horse is sick again

The sky won't rain, rain, rain, oh rain
The sky won't rain, rain, rain, oh rain
Oh river run low 'til they run dry
Under a baby blue sky, baby blue sky

Helen, the trains on the track
Taking the coal up to Cadillac
And it don't bring nothing back

Oh love do you remember me
On the day we bought the property?
Oh I danced you in circles in fields of wheat

The sky won't rain, rain, rain, oh rain
The sky won't rain, rain, rain, oh rain
Oh river run low 'til they run dry
Under a baby blue sky, baby blue sky
Wind did blow and train did cry
Under a baby blue sky, baby blue sky
