Across A Painted Sky

There's a half moon in the distance Troubles on the rise Carried by the wind you could See it in her eyes Daughter of a rich man Her daddy knew him well He swore that if he touched her He'd end up in hell They were barely eighteen Children at the time No one ever doubted They were partners in crime She was wild and wreckless He was just the same The fire that burned inside them Would never be tamed Ooh - Whenever night winds cry, They say that lovers in the night Are calling each other To say that it's all right Far away from the angry storm That made their heart aches die They would ride on the desperate wind That writes its name across a painted sky Everybody knows it But no one says a word They never found the lovers And they knew they never would But someone lit a candle That turned into a flame And burned its way to dawn Only ashes remain Ooh - Whenever night winds cry, They say that lovers in the night Are calling each other To say that it's all right Far away from the angry storm That made their heart aches die They would ride on the desperate wind That writes its name across a painted sky Ooh - Whenever night winds cry, They say that lovers in the night Are calling each other To say that it's all right Far away from the angry storm That made their heart aches die They would ride on the desperate wind That writes its name across a painted sky From Paul Cotton "Firebird" Futuredge Records 2000 Warner Chappel/Music Cabin(ASCAP) Paul Cotton vocals/guitar Richard Neville bass Joe Morris drums Carl McGregor keyboards Rusty Young lap steel/vocals Bill Lloyd vocal
