Sky In Your Eyes

Between the chords of a song years ago You saw a crack of light or was it a cause to follow? You've been chasing ever since around these streets For just the promise of a promise and nothing more to keep You drove us like a crazy man through those narrow cobbled streets You said 'there's nothing to fear' and we all smiled Round and round in that little car while the city lay asleep The city lay asleep With sky in your eyes, sky in your eyes The next day we went up to a ruined temple High on a cliff above the opal sea And watched as the angry storms chased around the bay And suddenly the wind rose up and the thunder cracked And you looked like you were home with your Weather-beaten face fixed in some kind of ecstasy When the lightning hit the road just a few yards away We all jumped up and shouted out but you never moved Just stared ahead like you'd seen a ghost So who was the ghost? One part left behind, one part already gone And one part standing here with sky in your eyes With the sky in your eyes, with the sky in your eyes If they won't make you captain then you sail your own ship With your own colours tied to the mast Setting sail for the far side of anywhere Beyond and behind your thousand yard stare With the sky in your eyes, with the sky in your eyes
