Echoes Under Lonesome Sky

Woke up this morning, my baby gone away Left me with nothing but shadows in the grave Heart feeling heavy like a stone in my chest Whiskey on the table, but it can't ease the rest Oh, the blues come calling deep in the night Stealing my dreams turning wrong into right I cry out for mercy but the wind don't reply Just the echo of sorrow under that lonesome sky Work my fingers raw, chasing a dream that faded Bills piling higher like the weight on my soul Friends turned their backs when the hard times came rolling Now I'm walking alone, trying to make myself whole Oh, the blues come calling deep in the night Stealing my dreams turning wrong into right I cry out for mercy but the wind don't reply Just the echo of sorrow under that lonesome sky I cry out for mercy but the wind don't reply One day I'll rise up, shake off this heavy chain Find that fire inside, let it burn through the rain No more begging for love that's long slipped away I'll sing my own song chase the darkness from day Memories linger like smoke in the air Sweet words you whisper now they cut like a knife But I'll keep on strumming let the nose heal the scar Turn all this hurt into a rising star, oh the blues Come calling deep in the night stealing my dreams turning wrong into right I cry out for mercy but the wind don't reply Just the echo of sorrow under that lonesome sky, oh the blues
