lyrics

COPPER-LINED SKY

The sun was sinking
It was do or die.
I saw a blackbird spreading
Its wings to fly
I tried to warn it
I got no reply
It melted its wings
In that Copper-Lined Sky

CHORUS
n that Copper-Lined Sky
In that Copper-Lined Sky
In that Copper-Lined Sky
In that Copper-Lined Sky


If the Lord has mercy
It's in short supply
My well-laid plans
Have all gone awry
I tried to tell her
That the well went dry.
But she was shaking her fist
At the Copper-Lined Sky.
CHORUS

I saw a preacher praying
I stopped and asked him why
He said this ain't no prayer
It's just my long goodbye
I tried to calm him
He shrugged and gave a sigh
He started cutting a hole
In that Copper-Lined Sky
CHORUS

All these fiery embers
Keep shooting by
Racing down the canyons
They quickly multiply
Come the morning
They'll be cool and dry
It all went up in smoke.
To that Copper-Lined Sky
CHORUS
