lyrics

SKY WATCHING

I said I felt alone
You told me don’t get too down
Just try to feel it through
He told me that he would call
I wait to hear nothing at all
Now I’m feeling blue

Watch the sky turn black
Through this dirty windowpane
Write a stupid song about you again

I said I felt afraid
Of shadows on the wall you made
The growing flood of tears
Days and weeks go passing by
I try to keep you off my mind
To see life as it is

Watch the sky turn black
Through this dirty windowpane
Write a stupid song about you again
Watch the sky turn red
I will try hard to explain
Why I’m sitting here thinking of you again

My knees are weak and I’m not sure if I can stand it any longer
My hands are shaking it feels like this old body’s breaking up
I can’t pretend that I am fine anymore
