Bettye LaVette - It's Alright Lyrics

Black streams cross the heavens
They slice up the beautiful blue
I follow this highway
but I know it won't lead me to you
The chill in the air it leaves me exposed
The drag of the days unravels my soul
I wish I could take us back to a time
When the sky was singing
It's alright, the tears you've been crying
Alright, I'm crying too
It's alright a world full of promises
Alright, it's a world full of lies
Alright, Alright
I'm breaking it down to the fractions
The tiniest things
I'm searching my mind for the future
of someone to blame
Everythings tangled, nothing is straight
I'm straining my eyes and I'm losing my way
Don't you remember a day that was clear
And the sky was singing
It's alright, the tears you've been crying
Alright, I'm crying too
It's alright, a world full of promises
Alright, it's a world full of lies
Alright, Alright Alright, Alright

It's alright, the tears you've been crying
Alright, I'm crying too

It's alright, a world full of promises
Alright, it's a world full of lies
Black streams cross the heavens
They slice up the beautiful blue
I follow this highway
but I know it won't lead me to you
Maybe you're finding when I'm all broken down
A carload of trains on their way out of town
Don't you know somewhere in this serious world
Where the sky is singing
It's alright, the tears you've been crying
Alright, I'm crying too
It's alright, a world full of promises
Alright, it's a world full of lies
Alright, Alright Alright, Alright
