The Sky Is Crying

Stevie Ray Vaughan The Sky Is Crying Lyrics
1.Boot Hill

look up on the wall baby....hand me down my shootin' iron
Look up on the wall baby....hand me down my shootin' iron
Call your mother long distance....tell her to expect your body
home

If the city don't bury you baby....lord knows the county will
If the city don't bury you baby....lord knows the county will
You made your last mistake....you going way out on that boot
hill

Lord i don't want to wax you darlin'....'cause you gave me my
first thrill
Lord i don't want to wax you baby....'cause you gave me my first
thrill
You did me so wrong....you're going way out on that boot hill


2.The Sky Is Crying

The sky is cryin....can't you see the tears roll down the street
The sky is cryin....can't you see the tears roll down the street
I've been looking for my baby
And i wonder where can she be

I saw my baby early one morning....she was walking on down the
street
I saw my baby early this morning....she was walking on down the
street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad
Made my poor heart skip a beat

I've got a real real real real bad feelin
That my baby she don't love me no more
I've got a real real bad feelin that my baby don't love me no
more
You know the sky, the sky's been cryin
Can you see the tears roll down my nose


3.May I Have A Talk With You

Well now now darlin may a have a little talk with you
Well now now now now darlin may a have a little talk with you
Because it won't be long before our true love will be through

Well now now now darlin am i right or am i wrong
Yeah now now now darlin am i right or am i wrong
Because it won't be long before our true love will be through

You know i like my coffee sweet in the morning
And i'm crazy about my tea at night
Yeah i like my coffee sweet in the morning
And i'm crazy about my tea at night
You know you'd come out a little better now baby
All i want you to do is treat me right


4.Close To You

I want to be close to you baby as i can get
Close to you baby as water is wet
Close to you baby as a hair on your head
Close to you babe you better believe what i said

I want to be close to you baby
Yeah let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin'
'til you don't know what to say or do

I want to be close to you baby as white is to rice
Close to you baby as cold is to ice
Close to you baby as a fire is to smoke
Close to you baby as a pig is to pork
I want to be close to you baby
Wo let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin'
'til you don't know what to say or do

I said closer and closer baby
Closer and closer baby...haha
Closer and closer baby
Closer and closer baby
I want to be close to you darlin'
'til you don't know what to say or do

I want to be close to you baby as the whites of your eyes
Close to you baby as cold is to ice
Close to you baby as an egg is to a hen
Close to you baby as siamese twins

I want to be close to you baby
Whoa let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin'
'til you don't know what to say or do

7.Life By The Drop

Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago it was 'til the end
We played outside in the pouring rain
On our way up the road we started over again

You're livin' a dream....wo you on top
My mind is achin'....lord it won't stop
Thats how it happens....livin' life by the drop

Up and down that road in our worn out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and signin' the blues
You went your way....i stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter of time

You're livin a dream....wo you on top
My mind is achin'....lord it won't stop
That's how it happens....livin' life by the drop

No wasted time....we're alive today
Churnin' up the past....there's no easier way
Time's been between us....a means to an end
God it's good to be here walkin' together my friend

You're livin a dream....wo you on top
My mind is achin'....lord it won't stop
That's how it happens....livin' life by the drop
That's how it happens....livin' life by the drop
That's how it happens....livin' life by the drop


8.Empty Arms

Your gonna miss me little darlin'....the day that i'm gone
Your gonna miss me little baby....the day that i'm gone
Cause i'm leavin' in the mornin'....won't be back at all

You have run me ragged baby....your own fault your on your own
You have run me ragged baby....your own fault your on your own
You didn't want me no way baby....'till that other man was gone

You can try to get me back baby....with all your tricks and
charms
You can try to get me back baby....with all your tricks and
charms
But when all your games are over....you'll be left with empty
arms

Low down and dead....and all alone


9.Little Wing

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and a fairy tale
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding the wind

When i'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's alright she says...it's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Fly on little wing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fly on little wing
