one blue sky lyrics

Little Annie Vickers is boarding up windows
And her old dog is stranded on the silos
Hey there Annie, don't even think it
So much water and you can't even drink it

Well, maybe by Christmas they'll 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
Don't know but we're 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 I'm sendin'
'Cause the preacher swears that the world is ending

Well, if there's a way out, wish someone would show us
We keep looking around here for some modern day Moses

How long 'til our dreams run dry
Don't know but we're stayin'
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holdin' on and prayin' to find one blue sky

Now we're 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
Don't know but we're stayin'
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holdin' on and prayin' to find one blue sky

How long 'til our dreams run dry
Don't know but we're stayin'
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holdin' on and prayin' to find one blue sky, one blue sky
