Pieces Of The Sky

(rodney crowell)

Baby brought me in out off the highway
Made me put my money in the bank, bank
Straightened out my crooked way of thinking
Made it purely pleasure when i drank

And it's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, i'm drunk on bluebird wine

Baby taught me a diff'rent way of thinkin'
Like how to spend my evenings here at home
List'ning to the music on the radio
Drinking all the bluebird we can hold

And it's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, i'm drunk on bluebird wine

Baby says he'd really love a party
We'll get some friends together feelin' fine
Any friend of mine is worth his habit
A belly full of baby's bluebird wine

And it's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, i'm drunk on bluebird wine

I know that somewhere there's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And i hate to say it, but you have a right to be free
I know that's the way it should be

But i'm too far gone
Too far gone
I've loved you so much for so long
And i'm too far gone

If ever your new love should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Just remember your old love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you

'cause i'm too far gone
Too far gone
I love you so much for so long
And i'm too far gone

Winter summer seasons is taken over it's quiet
Like new fallen snow
I told you summer stories but outside is getting mighty cold
I told you everything i could about me
Told you everything i could
How would you feel if the world was falling apart around you

Pieces of the sky were falling in your neighbors yard
But not on you
Wouldn't you feel just a little bit funny
Think maybe there's something you oughta do

Solutions that never lay down before you the answers are all around
Believing is all the friend you need to talk to
Believing in you
I told you everything i could about me
Told you everything i could

I told you everything i could about me
Told you everything i could

Back through the years i go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mamma put these rags to use

There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
And i didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
She made my coat of many colours, that i was so proud of

As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colours, joseph wore and they she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
And i just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
Made only rags, but i wore it so proudly
Although we had no money. oh i was rich as i could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours, i hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

Oh, i couldn't understand it, for i felt i was rich
And i told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
And i told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes

They didn't under stand it and i tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now i know we have no money, but i'm as rich as i could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me

I don't want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
And i know there's life below
But all that it can show me
Is the prairie and the sky

And i don't want to hear a sad story
Full of heartbreak and desire
The last time i felt like this
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
And i stood on the mountain in the night and i watched it burn
I watched it burn, i watched it burn.

I would rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
I would walk all the way from boulder to birmingham
If i thought i could see, i could see your face.

Well you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing i'll survive.
I have come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Out on ninety five
And pretend that it's the ocean
Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
Baby do you know what i mean

I would rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
I would walk all the way from boulder to birmingham
If i thought i could see, i could see your face.
