Tarry Not

Blue sky come

Bearing up before us

We hang on

The hem of your gown

Blue sky come

Promise not to leave us

Tarry not

To our town

There’s a darkness in the valley

Heavy branches crack and spit

If we holler will you hurry?

Can you hear us through the wind?

Blue sky come

Dancing in between us

Take us up, lay us down

Blue sky come

Promise not to leave us

Tarry not to our town

There’s a violence under our feet

Running stitches through our homes

Bring a Lantern, bring it quickly

“Joy is not to be a crumb”

Blue sky come

Hearken to our chorus

Tie us to

Your golden crown

Blue sky come

Promise not to leave us

Tarry not

To our town

To our town

To our town

To our town
