[00:07.738] |
My grand daddy never went to church |
[00:10.993] |
Felt closer to God with his hands in the dirt |
[00:14.569] |
Doing hard work |
[00:16.617] |
Sun on his face sweat on his brow, wind in his hair |
[00:21.891] |
He'd say a prayer, anywhere |
[00:25.359] |
Be standing in the middle of a fresh mowed field |
[00:29.009] |
The spirit would move |
[00:30.607] |
He'd just kneel and start giving thanks |
[00:34.210] |
For God's green earth |
[00:35.821] |
When it came to church he preferred his |
[00:40.414] |
Blue sky cathedral with it's white pine steeples |
[00:53.998] |
Sunrise for a stained glass window |
[00:56.960] |
Singing along with that song bird hymnal |
[01:02.719] |
Made his soul fly like an eagle under that blue sky cathedral |
[01:17.161] |
Every now and then some folks from town |
[01:20.023] |
They'd drop in try and bring him round |
[01:23.591] |
Into the fold but he'd just smile |
[01:27.083] |
Fix 'em some tea and let 'em talk a while |
[01:30.575] |
And when they'd leave he'd say to me |
[01:34.159] |
Son some people gotta have four walls |
[01:37.445] |
To keep the word and heed the call |
[01:41.150] |
But that's ok |
[01:42.999] |
As for me I do better underneath my |
[01:49.230] |
Blue sky cathedral with it's white pine steeples |
[02:02.897] |
Sunrise for a stained glass window |
[02:05.739] |
Singing along with that song bird hymnal |
[02:10.511] |
Made his soul fly like an eagle under that blue sky cathedral |
[02:25.833] |
Thirty years since he's been gone |
[02:28.652] |
We buried him up on the hill |
[02:32.182] |
But it don't matter where I am |
[02:35.505] |
I feel him with me still |
[02:42.182] |
Blue sky cathedral with it's white pine steeples |
[02:55.774] |
Sunrise for a stained glass window |
[02:58.832] |
Singing along with that song bird hymnal |
[03:03.264] |
Made his soul fly like an eagle under that blue sky cathedral |
