She’s telling me over and over and over
She’s so scared, she can’t pick up the phone
She’s telling me over and over and over
She’s nowhere, there’s no such thing as home

I wish I had her head on my shoulder
I wish I could reach out and hold her
I wish I could say that it’s over now
But the medicine splayed her and scarred her
Made it so much harder
Took her farther and farther from me

She’s telling me over and over and over
She misses dad, she misses how things were
And she’s coming closer and closer and closer
To leaving hope out of her prayers, to breathing smoke instead of air

I wish I had her head on my shoulder
I wish I could reach out and hold her
I wish I could say that it’s over now
But the medicine splayed her and scarred her
Made it so much harder
Took her farther and farther from me
She wants to know, will the sky be blue again?
(will the sky be blue again?)
Oh she wants to know, will the sky be blue again?
(will the sky be blue again?)
She wants to know, will the sky be blue again?
I wish I had her head on my shoulder
I wish I could reach out and hold her
I wish I could say that it’s over now
But the medicine splayed her and scarred her
Made it so much harder
Took her farther and farther from me
