Cowboy Junkies Picture
The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

December Skies Lyrics

Cowboy Junkies

September Skies,
Bodies Falling
Never Again Will You Catch Me Admiring
Those Vast September Skies.

October Skies,
Hate Is Flying.
Crimson Leaves Slowly Falling
From Azure October Skies.

Time To Kill Our Children
And Sing About It.
Let's All Kill Our Children
And Sing About It.

November Skies,
Heart Is Sinking.
No Telling Where They're Leading
These Grey November Skies.

Time To Kill Our Children
And Sing About It.
Let's All Kill Our Children
And Sing About It.

December Skies, Star Will Be Rising.
Will We Heed Those Lessons Ringing
Through Those Dark December Skies.

Time To Kill Our Children
And Sing About It.
Let's All Kill Our Children
And Sing About It.
