The Handsome Family
Our Blue Sky
Why do you dream of pearly white gates?
High in the air where no bird flies
No tree grows beyond the sky
Our blue sky

Why do you dream that worms and dogs?
Hills and clouds are not like you
Burning light that never dies
Our blue spinning sky

Why do you leave a trail of death?
Air turns brown, trees fall down
Burn green fields and drive on by
Our blue sky

Could you love God if he didn’t love you?
More than rivers, snakes or wind
Could you share heaven with black buzzing flies
Our blue spinning sky

What if this dream you dream with pigs?
You dream with dirt and this is home
Is it so wrong to love this light?
Our blue sky
