Black Sky

[Verse 1]
Well, I sure take it with me wherever I go
And you might like to see it, but it never does show
Like the wind in the valley that never does blow
Like the grass in the back you never did mow

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, you might see me drivin' in the wrong side of town
And you might see me shinin' when the rain's come down
Likе a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and found
Like a coon that's runnin' from a red bonе hound

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Well, the wood keeps burnin' in the old wood stove
And the cows keep goin' where they done been drove
And the light keeps glowin' in Dead Man's Cove
And a loom keeps spinnin' where the weave gets wove

[Chorus]
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
