Across a Painted Sky Lyrics

Paul Cotton Across A Painted Sky written by Rusty Young
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
