Real Big Sky

When they broke your body
They broke your mind
But with broken spirits
you have always tried
I watch you sleep
I watch you fade
I will always keep the light on even
even though you can’t stay
And you sing to me
you say
I don’t want to be awake when it takes me
I can’t wait to see you smile on the other side
I can’t wait to kiss the face of the big sky
Won’t you stay here for a while with me
with me
My child
And you’re losing your vision
and you’re going blind
What starts out in the night time
follows you in the morning light
I watch you sleep
I watch you fade
I will keep the light on as you change even
even though you can’t stay
And you sing to me
you say
I don’t want to be awake when it takes me
I can’t wait to see you smile on the other side
I can’t wait to kiss the face of the big sky
I don’t want to say goodbye to you
to you
my child
I don’t want to be awake when it takes me
I won’t ever change my mind
I can’t wait to kiss the face of the big sky
Won't you stay for a while with me
for a while with me
My child
