See the Sky About to Rain (Live at the Cellar Door 1970) Lyrics

[Chorus]
See the sky about to rain
Broken clouds and rain
Locomotive pull the train
Whistle blowing through my brain
Signals curling on an open plain
Rolling down the track again
See the sky about to rain

[Verse 1]
Some are bound for happiness
Some are bound to glory
Some are bound to live with less
Who can tell your story?

[Chorus]
See the sky about to rain
Broken clouds and rain
Locomotive pull the train
Whistle blowing through my brain
Signals curling on an open plain
Rolling down the track again
See the sky about to rain

[Verse 2]
I was down in Dixieland
Played a silver fiddle
Played it loud and then the man
Broke it down the middle
[Outro]
See the sky about to rain

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
