lyrics

The Blue Sky Doesn’t Cry at Night

Gotta admit we had some really good times Trying on t-shirts in the waiting room line flying our kites until they carried us home Playing Atari, Watching Home Alone

You tried to believe me when I said I felt fine
You raised a Kool-Aid glass, I couldn’t raise mine sitting beside me as your other friends played And I must confess I felt so lucky you stayed

But like our kites the time has flown away
And like Atari we woke up in El Paso yesterday Kevin left home, through the hole, with the kool aid man oh yeah
And I’m gonna fly and you know why
The blue sky doesn’t cry at night

Why did you sit with me each day after school
when you could be outside in a warm sunny pool
Ya softly remind me that I am your best friend
And you’d be beside me every day til the end

But like our kites the time has flown away
And like water wings in the sunny pool in May
And like the grounded southpaw who never gets to play
I won’t betray like an airway in year by year decay
So I’m gonna fly and you know why
The blue sky doesn’t cry at night
