Big Men in the Sky Songtext
von Mandolin Orange

Well I wake up in the morning, try to set my hook
I used to be a settled boy, never stumbled or shook
But now, I′ve got no hand to hold, no friend to call my own
Well I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it′s all I've got

So maybe I'll pick up and go, with no thinkin′ through
Just sleep out every night and try to forget you
I′d look out on some ocean, wash my head in blue
Well I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it′s all I've got


Been a-rockin′ and a-rollin', reelin′ in my time
I set myself up fancy-like, and set a brand new line
Well, I oughta know by now, it comes and goes it's true
Well I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it′s all I′ve got

Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Well, thinkin' ain′t no pastime and thinkin' ain′t no friend
If all you do is sit around and think about the end
Maybe I will get to prayin' someday before I′m through
Well I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it's all I′ve got
