Copper Sky (desert world fusion) v20

[Copper Sky] [Verse 1] Grandpa swore the well ran dry by August noon Before the leaves turned brown Daddy hitched the mule to the wagon And locked the front door down [Chorus] That dust, it still settles in deep Chokes the heart, blurs the sun Leaves a memory you can't sweep Of the farm where we begun I still feel that heavy pull Tuggin' hard at my sleeve Some wounds don't need a witness They just wait for you to leave [Verse 2] The '41 Chevy coughing up black smoke Canvas stretched over the bed We traded the plow for a highway With nowhere to lay our head [Verse 3] We worked the orchards till our hands were cracked and sore Picking peaches in the scorching heat Sleeping in a tent by the irrigation ditch With blisters on our feet [Bridge] Sometimes I dream of thunder out west And I'm twelve years old once more Chasing shadows across the floorboards While the wind rattles the door Praying for clouds in a copper sky Watching my sister go sore [Guitar Solo] (The rhythm section drops into a heavy, driving stomp. The lead guitar cuts through with a searing, howling slide-guitar bend, building into a fast, gritty, blues-rock cry that feels like a dust storm tearing across the plains before crashing back into the rhythm.) [Verse 4] They put up signs at the state line saying "Keep Out" As if we wanted to stay Just looking for a patch of green earth That the bankers couldn't take away [Chorus] That dust, it still settles in deep Chokes the heart, blurs the sun Leaves a memory you can't sweep Of the farm where we begun I still feel that heavy pull Tuggin' hard at my sleeve Some wounds don't need a witness They just wait for you to leave
