The Handsome Family
Our Blue Sky

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Why do you dream that worms and dogs?
Hills and clouds are not like you
Burning light that never dies
Our blue spinning sky

[Verse 3]
Why do you leave a trail of death?
Air turns brown, trees fall down
Burn green fields and drive on by
Our blue sky

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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
