Every day
I would toil and I'd pray
I'd be working so hard
Trying to win your heart
Praying to Lord above
Trying to win your wondrous love
All I did was pray
That my child would be my own one day
I said now all I can leave you
Is the earth and the son
For although I might have grieved you
You are my only one
There's a cradle in the sky
For the child that's always high
And he might as well be dead
Or withdrawal is in his head now
Praying to Lord above
Trying to appeal for your love
Then I did start to fix
And from heroin I got my kicks
I was always high
Just waiting to die
Woman, oh, hear me pray
That my mind will be my own one day
Now all I can leave you
Is the еarth and my son
For although I might have grieved you
You arе my only one
There's a cradle in the sky
For the child that's always high
And he might as well be dead
Or withdrawal is in his head now
A cradle in the sky
For the child that's always high
And he might as well be dead
Or withdrawal is in his head now
Cradles in the sky
For the children that are always high
Might as well be dead
You get withdrawal right through your head
All I did was pray
That my child might live one day
Oh, then I did start to fix
And from heroin he got all his kicks
And now all I can leave you
Is the earth and my son
For although I might have grieved you
You are my only one
And there's a cradle in the sky
For the child that's always high
And he might as well be dead
Or withdrawal has made him dead
