One Blue Sky

Little Annie
Vickers is boarding up windows
And her old dog is stranded on the silos
Hey there
Annie, dont even think it
So much water and you cant even drink it
Well, maybe by
Christmas theyll dig up the roads
Take whatever you can girl, leave the rest for the crows
Leave the rest for the crows
Livin in
Crawford for fifteen years
Nothin 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 every thing that we loved is floatin away
How long til our dreams run dry
Dont know but were stayin
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holdin on and prayin to find one blue sky
Miss Wilson sits with an insurance adjuster
Big city boys, she never did trust em
Have you been gettin the letters
Im sendin
Cause the preacher swears that the world is ending
Well, if theres a way out, wish someone would show us
We keep looking around here for some modern day
MosesHow long til our dreams run dry
Dont know but were stayin
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holdin on and prayin to find one blue sky
Now were diggin 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
Dont know but were stayin'
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holdin on and prayin to find one blue sky
How long til our dreams run dry
Dont know but were stayin
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holdin on and prayin to find one blue sky, one blue sky
