Blue Sky

“Blue Sky” © C. Mortimer 30.9.2010, chorus composed 8.2.92

 

I never thought that I’d feel this insecure

I never thought that I could go insane

I tried to catch my breath so many times before

I felt my luck run out and my soul was left in pain

And so I look out at the sea and watch the shades

I think of you every single day.

 

I sit and feel the peace inside my heart

For it is strength you need to heal the many scars

I wander how I’ve come to be this far

Cause from the start things have not been clear to me

And I thought that if I loved, you’d feel the same

But you don’t know or so you say.

 

CH: I’d love to see some more blue sky

I’d love to see, beyond your blue

I’d love to fly in that blue sky

As once I did before, the blue sky in you.

 

I argue with your mind and you spring back at me

Its’ a simple matter of who reads the news it seems

You know you’re right and that’s the way it is for now

Do we sleep in peace or do we loop some mindless row?

Am I in a corner, am I by myself somehow?

I think around these simple things.

 

CH: I’d love to see some more blue sky

I’d love to see, beyond your blue

I’d love to fly in that blue sky

As once I did before, the blue sky in you.

 

Now I sit upon this cliff and stare out to sea

I feel safe that the ships can handle waves like this

I want simple explanations why the sky seems grey

Not your coldness and your silence with its bitter taste

For this silence and this emptiness casts me away

From your shore I drift, to a better place.

 

CH: I’d love to see some more blue sky

I’d love to see, beyond your blue

I’d love to fly in that blue sky

As once I did before, the blue sky in you.
