Lonely Sky

The cold north wind they call " la bise "
Is swirling round about my knees
Trees are crying leaves into the river ;
I'm huddled in this french caf'e
I never thought i'd see the day
But winter is here and summer's really over
Even the birds have packed up and gone
They're flying south with their song
And my love , she too has gone , she had to fly
Take care , it's such a lonely sky
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Fly away , fly to me , fly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
The old cathedral lights are low
She and i we'd often go there
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer ;
Lords and ladies lie in stone
Hand in hand from long ago
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever
Even the choir rehearses those songs
For christmas is not long
And alone , i sing my song , she had to fly
Out there it's such a lonely sky
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Fly away , fly to me , fly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Fly away , fly to me , and if you need my love
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
I'll come in with the dawn
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
On the wings of the morn
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Above the world we'll be flying
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
