Will Kimbrough - Margie's Sky Lyrics

Some say your eyes were Cerulean blue
Like a wide-open sky on a clear afternoon
Some say your heart was as deep as a lake
With all of that love the levee might break
Just like in that song your smile was so sweet
The greatest of gifts to the boys at your feet
Your voice I still hear, the cadence and all
Every day reaching to give you a call

I'm learning about all this hard work of grief
It keeps breaking in like a vagabond thief
I know I'm expected to pay for my keep
But man I sure could use a better nights' sleep

Maybe today I'll suspend disbelief
Skip to a scene with some comic relief
A girl in a mill town where fortunes were told
Let the world wrap you in colors so bold
Just like in that song your smile was so bright
Gracefully floating all honeyed and light
Your voice I still hear, cadence and all
Every day wishing you'd give me a call

I'm learning about all this hard work of grief
It keeps breaking in like a vagabond thief
It's all part of love, I guess that's the key
Safe passage perhaps to a better nights' sleep
What will I see when this grieving is through

You in a sky of Cerulean blue
You in a sky of Cerulean blue
You in a sky of Cerulean blue"
