Blue Sky Blues

Ryan Adams · 29 [2005]

Blue sky when you gonna learn to rain?

And let yourself go blue for once

And let go of the weight you've been carrying

In this house, no one goes to sleep for days,

Its like were working on a mountainside

Trying not to slide,

Into the ocean,



I can take care of you

But only if you want

Imp strong enough to carry you

Across the icy lake, across the icy lake

But I cant fight your blues,

Cause I know I'll lose

What's left of my mind

I cant win,

But for you I will try

My baby blue



My mountain is hidden in a pile of trees

And its the one I'll have to climb,

If I ever wanna see,

Over the ocean

Blue sky

When you gonna learn to rain?

And let yourself go blue for once

And let go of the pain?



I can take care of you

The way you'd like to feel

Underneath the riverbed

Across the icy lake, across the icy lake

But I cant fight your blues

Cause I know I'll lose

What's left of my mind

I cant win,

But for you I will try

For you

For you

My baby blue
