Sugarland - One Blue Sky lyrics

rate me

Little Annie Vickers is boarding up windows

And a rows all get stranded on a silos

Hey, there Annie, don't even think it

So much water and you can't even drink it

Well, maybe by Christmas they'll dig up the rows

Take whatever you can, girl, and leave the rest for the crows

Leave the rest for the crows

Living in Crawford for fifteen years

Nothing much ever happens round here

And, no one believed the water would come

Til the sky grew dark and it swallowed the sun

And it rained for forty-two nights and forty-two days

And everything that we love is floating away

How long til our dreams run dry

Don't know but we're staying

On our knees we raise our eyes

Holding on and praying to find one blue sky

Mrs Wilson sits with an insurance adjuster

Big city boy, she never did trust him

Have you been getting the letters I'm sending

Cause the preacher swears that the world is ending

Well, if there's a way out, wish someone would show us

We keep looking around here for some modern day Moses

How long til our dreams run dry

Don't know but we're staying

On our knees we raise our eyes

Holding on and praying to find one blue sky

We will dig in our heels hard as we can

But the backyard looks like the Rio Grande

And I wonder will it wash us clean or wash us away

How long til our dreams run dry

Don't know but we're staying

On our knees we raise our eyes

Holding on and praying to find one blue sky

(How long til our dreams run dry)

(Don't know but we're staying)

On our knees we raise our eyes

Holding on and praying to find one blue sky

(Blue sky) one blue sky
