The Sky Turned Grey

(Steve Madewell)
I was coming back from a conference hosted by the WHite House on conservation, and was sitting in the air port watching the television accounts of Katrina.
Due to a number of events, I had also had to cancell a series of recording sessions I had scheduled for this project. I really didn't know if I would get back into the project.
And the skies turned gray
And the rain fell down
It swept your heart away
All my feelings drown

And what was lost
Who could ever say
When the rains came down
The week the Skies turned gray

I thought I knew what I had found
Had been misplaced
When we lay it down
Years ago I thought is safe to say
We’d start again, and then the skies turned gray

I reached out we were far apart
You reached back
And it stirred my heart
With hopes and dreams
We’d sing again some day
But the rains came down
The week the skies turned gray

I heard you sing than sweet harmony
The haunting sound of your voice with me
As we danced the dance
we once stepped and swayed
We’d start again, then the skies turned gray

Chorus
And the skies turned gray
And the rain fell down
It swept your heart away
All my feelings drown

And what was lost
Who could ever say
When the rains came down
Then the sky turned gray

I never knew
It would break my heart
Like the autumn leaves
Blowing across the yard
We were pushed
our separate way
When the Rain came down
And the sky turned gray

Chorus
And the skies turned gray
And the rain fell down
It swept your heart away
All my feelings drown

And what was lost
Who could ever say
When the rains came down
The week the Skies turned gray

I wish you love in your full life
And I know that you
Wish me the best in mine
But I still hear you
As I sing and play
Like I did the week before the sky turned gray

Chorus
