Lyrics

The Sky's Not Crying
(for Stevie Ray Vaughan)

In the early morning dark
August hours
A mist came down like heaven's net
and waited

In a field of Bittersweet
and Queen Anne's Lace
Mother Nature's blue guitar played
Amazing Grace
and faded

I awoke to the telephone ringing
headlines screaming
and my heart was not prepared
for the beating

In a sky so full of stars
can't help but wonder
where you are
In heaven's band of diamonds
does heaven have guitars
The sky's not crying, Stevie
The sky's not crying
We are
