"I Said To The Sky" lyrics - PATTY GRIFFIN

I said to the sky
Do you want me to fly
The sky said No
It ain't your turn to go

I said to my man
Where did you go
With a girl named Jo
Down to old Mexico
Got two babies, got no money honey
I can't pay my note
Oh, I said to the sky
Where do you want me to go

I cry in the night
I weep and I pray
I cry to my mother
Long long gone away
Let me lie in your arms
For one hour today
Let me lie in your arms
In your arms let me lay

I said to my lord
Who don't give me no smile
You give me nothing but dust
All of these miles after mile
I said to my lord
I'm nothing I know
Oh, but where in this world
Is a poor woman to go

I cry in the night
I weep and I pray
I cry to my mother
Long long gone away
Let me lie in your arms
For one hour today
Yeah, let me lie in your arms
In your arms let me lay

I said to the sky
Do you want me to fly
The sky said No
Ain't your turn to, ain't your turn
I said to the sky
Do you want me to fly
The sky said No
Ain't your turn to, ain't your turn to...

I said to the sky
