|
Between the chords of a song years ago |
|
You saw a crack of light or was it a cause to follow? |
|
You've been chasing ever since around these streets |
|
For just the promise of a promise and nothing more to keep |
|
You drove us like a crazy man through those narrow cobbled streets |
|
You said 'there's nothing to fear' and we all smiled |
|
Round and round in that little car while the city lay asleep |
|
The city lay asleep |
|
With sky in your eyes, sky in your eyes |
|
The next day we went up to a ruined temple |
|
High on a cliff above the opal sea |
|
And watched as the angry storms chased around the bay |
|
And suddenly the wind rose up and the thunder cracked |
|
And you looked like you were home with your |
|
Weather-beaten face fixed in some kind of ecstasy |
|
When the lightning hit the road just a few yards away |
|
We all jumped up and shouted out but you never moved |
|
Just stared ahead like you'd seen a ghost |
|
So who was the ghost? |
|
One part left behind, one part already gone |
|
And one part standing here with sky in your eyes |
|
With the sky in your eyes, with the sky in your eyes |
|
If they won't make you captain then you sail your own ship |
|
With your own colours tied to the mast |
|
Setting sail for the far side of anywhere |
|
Beyond and behind your thousand yard stare |
|
With the sky in your eyes, with the sky in your eyes |
