My eyes drink from a country cup
Sip it slowly, drink it up
Yellow, crimson, white and green
All the colours in between
Spattered lemon, purple too
Heaven paints her mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
My ears lap up the country song
Birds in ditches sing along
Harmony of life's good reason
Regardless of the time of season
Robin, goldcrest, thrush and blackbird
Know the tune and all the words
Heaven holds the sweetest notes they'll sing
Heaven holds the sweetest notes they'll sing
Heaven holds the sweetest notes they'll sing
Soul reads from the country book
Lines are fields all seasons long
Ditches, river, road and brook
Everywhere, creation's song
Morning, evening, dark or bright
Heaven sends a candlelight
Heaven sends a little candlelight
Heaven sends a little candlelight
Heaven sends a little candlelight
Heaven paints her mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her mantle blue
Heaven paints her mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her mantle blue
Heaven paints her mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
Heaven paints her holy mantle blue
