"Me And The Flute And The Sky" lyrics

On the bus ride home
I sit alone
Watch the sky getting darker

Key inside the door
Bare feet on the floor
Like I'm underwater

Throw open the window and sit on the fire escape
And wait for a melody
From a balcony somewhere, somebody's playing a flute
And the music floats down to me

And I dance
And the world becomes brighter
The rest falls away
As I dance
And I'm suddenly lighter
As the melody plays
And Traffic below me roars by
For a moment or two
It's just me and the flute and the sky

The noise inside my head
The yellows and reds
They fight for attention

But the song fits like a glove
A line from above
A quiet confession

I spin and I sway, alone on my fire escape
I'm safe in a reverie
The notes in the twilight, the delicate trill of the flute
As the beauty moves through me

And I dance like a wave on the ocean
I give up control
As I dance and though I may be broken
I'm suddenly whole
On this evening in early July
For a moment or two
It's just me and the flute and the sky

My private symphony
Like a message meant for me
And whoever is playing
They may never know or understand
This song that they gave me
The way that it saves me

As I dance, and the world becomes brighter
The rest falls away
As I dance and I'm suddenly lighter
As the melody plays
And I know when it ends for the night
I'll close the window and go back inside
But for a moment or two
It's just me and the flute and the sky
