"Against The Sky" lyrics
"Against The Sky"
Whatever pulled the wind that night
It had it bring a tree down
Untidy lime tree holding tight
To the end of my last garden
One of five against the sky
An elegant surrender
It broke the wall and bent the gate
And warmed us through the winter
Whatever pulls the wind tonight
Will have the roof slates fly
But rows of chimney pots don't wave
Like trees against the sky
The hill behind the old house
I can trace it with my finger
Against the sky I see it still
And draw it down on paper
Whatever pulled me over here
You were the main contender
And with the trees against the sky
Another life's remembered
Some evening skies are yellow
And over my head they're blue
What happened to the green between
It happened to me, too

Daniel Johnston - "Some Things Last A Long Time" Your picture
Is still
On my wall
On my wall
The colors are bright
Bright as ever
The red is strong
The blue is true
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time
Your picture
Is still
On...
Marika Hackman - "I Follow Rivers" Oh I beg you
Can I follow?
Oh I ask you
Why not always
Be the ocean
Where I unravel?
Be my only
Be the water where I'm wading
You're my river running high
Run deep, run wild
I follow
I follow you...
(Sandy) Alex G - "Sarah" Sarah runs
To feel the burning in her lungs
And clear her head
Do you know what Sarah meant
When she said
You
Be my guest
And keep the pace
To save your face
You'll never make
The place
Why do you...
Cocteau Twins - "Know Who You Are At Every Age" It seems things are indictive to,
A distinct desire to observe such, heal such
Behave such that makes this hard for me
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't...
Nick Drake - "Place To Be" When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener...
