About a man, a dog, the earth, the sky

lyrics

The Grand Blue Sky

I followed my feet and walked out the door, fell a few steps I hadn’t done it before,
The lens of my glasses blew out of their frame; the sun bore down hard, hard on my skin.

I couldn't move a finger couldn’t feel my toes, I hoped for help in the afternoon glow,
Someone will come someone will show, I couldn’t remember did I turn, turn off the stove?

Heaven can wait I kept telling myself, a dog in the distance started to yelp,
I felt a chill deep inside; I opened my eyes – to the grand blue sky.

You know the feeling that you'd been there before; everyone sees through a golden door,
Weaving rainbows and sizzling nights, when spirits rise, the end, the end is not in sight.

Heaven can wait I kept telling myself, the dog in the distance was closing in,
A funny feeling way down inside; I opened my eyes – to the grand blue sky.

A sun-charged sky with a stroke of red; scores of visions filled my head,
Considering lovers, haters too, life was good, too good to be true.

The dog next door was closing in; I should’ve been happy when I could’ve been,
The earth, the stars, the colors, the breeze; I fixed my eyes on the grand blue sky.

A siren blew, the barking ceased; the dog next door licking my face,
The earth, the stars, the colors, the breeze, I wept a river – for the grand blue sky.
