Lyrics

Lofty Skies

Sat 'neath the eyes of the lofty skies

We were chained by the rain to the pain of our love

And then we cried

Held 'neath the bars of the tangling stars

We were pinned by the might till the warrior night

We kissed and cried

O this time of love moves me, hey

O this time of love moves me, hey

Sat 'neath the eyes of the lofty skies

We were chained by the rain to the pain of our love

And then we cried

Held 'neath the bars of the tangling stars

We were pinned by the might till the warrior night

We kissed and cried

O this time of love moves me, hey

O this time of love moves me, hey

O this time of love moves me, hey

O this time of love moves me, hey

O this time of love moves me, hey

La la la la la la la la la la la la

This time of love moves me, hey

La la la la la la la la la la la la

This time of love moves me, hey

La la la la la la la la la la la la
