The Golden Sky

If you don't want to see, turn, turn away
If you don't believe me then there's nothing I can say
All my bones hollowed out, I'm crying like a jaybird
As her wings fail, and she falls from the golden sky

Someone is speaking but there's nobody there
All my footsteps hang so heavy, my thoughts are lighter than air
All those laws of gravitation, I never found to be fair
I don't care about them or anything, but for my golden sky

Why, tell me why must it always be this way?
Must I rob my dear friend to make my pay?
Are we all just along for the ride?
Or is it the light of the golden sky?
The golden sky

When the dawn is breaking and the sun is in your face
And every road has brought you right back to the same old place
I will be your memory, remind you every chance I can
I won't let you forget about the golden sky

But if you should see me sometime wandering 'round
With my gaze upon the heavens, please, don't tear it down
Swimming in the clouds forever, I would sooner drown
Before I found it, yes my dear, the only golden sky

Why, tell me why must it always be this way?
Is it a joke that they can't help but play?
Are we all just along for the ride?
Or is it the light from the golden sky?
The golden sky
