[Verse 1] Fat Boys Bucerias The Pacific going gold You'd ask me every evening What the sky was doin And I'd tell you what I saw Oranges and purples You'd nod slow Like it was all you needed to know Plastic table Sweating beer Salt on your knuckles You pulled me near [Chorus] You'd say "Tell me again What the sky's been doing" Like the colors could carry us home I would make up names for every shade you were choosing Till the daylight was almost gone If I could paint you there In that cracked red chair Sun slipping out of view You'd ask what the sky was doin out there But I was only watching you [Verse 2] Vendors calling down the sidewalk Ice cream bells and traffic groan You'd trace circles on the napkin Little suns and crescent moons in blue hotel pen You'd say "Tomorrow Let's stay till dark Count the stars 'til we lose our marks" But we cashed out early Walked back slow Sand in your sandals Nowhere else to go [Chorus] You'd say "Tell me again What the sky's been doing" Like the colors could carry us home I would make up names for every shade you were choosing Till the daylight was almost gone If I could paint you there In that cracked red chair Sun slipping out of view You'd ask what the sky was doin out there But I was only watching you [Bridge] Now I'm far from Bucerias Different shoreline Colder breeze Still I catch myself each evening Turning west like you're beside me (oh) And I answer that old question Out loud to an empty room Listing colors in the silence Till the dark comes down too soon [Chorus] You'd say "Tell me again What the sky's been doin" Like the colors could carry us home I still make up names for every shade I'm choosing Till the daylight is finally gone If I could paint you back In that cracked red chair Sun slipping out of view You'd ask what the sky was doin out there And I'd say it's still thinking of you Good bye pops
