Rodney DeCroo Sheltering Sky lyrics

Red lights flicker across your face,
signal cue for your crouched figure to step into place.
And all this hurt and all this hate,
sometimes darling you know my blood, it just can't wait.

It gets real easy,
and then you know,
it's going to get real hard.
It gets real easy momma,
and then you know,
it's going to get real hard,
when you take it that far.

As the sidewalk fades to black,
remember when I found you,
standing down by the railroad tracks?
Remember how you took my arm,
I said it was a lack?
Remember how hard you looked at me,
then you turned your head,
and you laughed.

It gets real easy,
and then you know,
it's going to get real hard.
It gets real easy momma,
and then you know,
it's going to get real hard,
when you take it that far.


When the sheltering sky came down,
we didn't move, we didn't make a sound,
you just lay upon the ground,
I think you even smiled,
when the night came down.

As the sun starts to fade,
I know you're thinking about
all the debts you left unpaid.
I know you're wondering
what I would say.
Honey, that's what you get,
when you always get your own way.

It gets real easy,
and then you know,
it's going to get real hard.
It gets real easy momma,
and then you know,
it's going to get real hard,
when you take it that far.

When the sheltering sky came down,
we didn't move, we didn't make a sound,
you just lay upon the ground,
I think you even smiled,
when the night came down.
