"Blue Skies" lyrics
"Blue Skies"
We were cast into the current
As were the last words that he wrote
"You only get to keep the things
That you refuse to let go"
You can cross every sea
Searching for a new sky
But then, just there, you'll be
"We've been cast into the current"
Were the only words she said
And then she sent me off for straws
As she settled in her bed
You can burn all your daylight
Searching for a new sky
But then, just there, you'll be
We are cast into the current
And it's a heartache that I grab
A memory wound with fear and grief
And I stuff it in my bag
We can spend all our nights
Searching for a blue sky
But then, just there, we'll be

One day all good things come to an end

The Be Good Tanyas - "For The Turnstiles" All the sailors
With their seasick mamas
Hear the sirens on the shore
Singin' songs
For pimps with tailors
Who charge ten dollars
At the door
You can really
Learn a lot that way
It will change you...
