Under the Black Sky

Intro

Oh-oh

Black Sky!

Verse 1

The black sky hangs above the harbor

Cold winds cut across the pier

I count the hours till the morning

Nothing left to keep me here

Pre-Chorus

And I can hear the thunder roll

Somewhere far beyond the bay

And I can feel it in my bones

The night won't let me stay

Chorus

Under the black sky I am standing

Under the black sky I am free

Under the black sky no one's calling

No one's waiting here for me

For me

Verse 2

My father worked the docks for thirty years

He never once complained

He said the sky don't owe you nothing

Just the wind and salt and rain

Pre-Chorus

And I can hear the sirens wail

Somewhere down along the shore

And I can feel the old man's hand

Pushing me toward the door

Chorus

Under the black sky I am standing

Under the black sky I am free

Under the black sky no one's calling

No one's waiting here for me

For me

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh-oh

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh-oh

Bridge

I ran

I ran from the harbor

I ran from the cold

I ran from the stories

That I was told

The sky stays black

The sky stays wide

I keep on walking

With nothing to hide

Chorus

Under the black sky I am standing

Under the black sky I am free

Under the black sky no one's calling

No one's waiting here for me

For me

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh-oh

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh-oh
