Lyrics

City Skies

The Torn Days of Winter

Swallows

Gone Away

'Till I Get Home

Better Days

The Winter of '85

White Horses

Lost Sight of the Way

 

 
City Skies

 

words: John Lambert / Richard Ashrowan
music: John Lambert

well the tall grey buildings
they get darker every year
casting long shadows
full of hate and fear

and i go out walking
through the park at night
and there's and old man standing
under a mercury light

and all there is is silence
in the sound of darkened sky
and all there is is silence
in your unforgiving eye

and i find myself
picking arguments with you
about nothing
nothing at all

and a hundred cars are passing
from the north gate to the gore
all those empty windows
i don't see you anymore

and all there is is silence
in the sound of darkened sky
and all there is is silence
in your unforgiving eye
