Lyrics

Chorus:
Silver Clouds with darkened linings
Bright blue skies and the moon’s a risin’
When the sun shines down upon my tear streaked face
The warmth is merely settin’ the dirt in place

Verse 1:
Two kind souls lost all too soon
One lied still in the operating room
While her one true love his heart in hand
Drove home all alone and found peace in the end

Bridge:
My blood runs cold while my eyes leak
Head bowed down my mind can’t speak
Feet move slow and deliberately
My mouth sown shut and my heart weeps

Verse 2:
Shorty lived to dance, and sing and strum
And throw some back with the best of ‘um
But that one late night he stayed on too long
Now all his friends gather while he’s gone

Verse 3:
Young buck named Clyde in the Haggard tee
Played the strings so low effortlessly
On the week of the show rather than onstage
He took his last breath inside his locked garage

Chorus:
Silver Clouds with darkened linings
Bright blue skies and the moon’s a risin’
When the sun shines down upon my tear streaked face
The warmth is merely settin’ the dirt in place
