lyrics

"Blue Skies"

Before you just walk out the door please let me finish
because I know the enormous cavalcade is just beginning
to grow as the big-bellied women eating their broccoli begin to gloat
as they know the nights will fade into sunrises and they sense the days are so close
when our tangled tongues and the lightning bugs will all knowingly begin to glow
as they shout out that our time is now!
The walls are all falling down!

Blue skies.
Blue skies.
Blue skies.

The lights were low and all I could do was scrape the floor to find them
underneath the chairs and behind the stares all these slippery things were unwinding
to grow as the big-bellied women eating their broccoli begin to gloat
as they know the nights will fade into sunrises and they sense the days are so close
when our tangled tongues and the lightning bugs will all knowingly begin to glow
as they shout out that our time is now!
The walls are all falling down!

Blue skies.
Blue skies.
Blue skies.

But now all the sun is folded into my skin as the skies bend low and my heart rests on my hand
And now you will see as the dreams they rise slowly and the shadows so tenderly float out past belief
They float on by as the dreams they sigh as the clouds they part to reveal blue skies
They float on by as the dreams they sigh, as the clouds they part to reveal blue skies

Blue skies.
Blue skies.
Blue skies.
