Cloudy Skies Lyrics
Well they keep on taking my heart...
And they keep on taking my soul...
They keep taking an inch when I give them a mile,
Not seen, it’s been a while, since anyone smiled.
They don’t know me, they don’t know me...
They don’t know me , they don’t know me...
But my name is on the highway sign, never look back.
All those troubles are done, nothing left but to run...
So meet me down and don’t be shy,
It’s a place where we can hide.
There ain’t nothing to hear, there ain’t no one back here...
Just you and I, and these clouded skies.
So it’s time to leave our home...
And see the passes we’ve outgrown.
Through the years we’ve kept our backs to the wind...
So long, be well, and goodbye my friend.
And they keep on taking my soul...
They keep taking an inch when I give them a mile,
Not seen, it’s been a while, since anyone smiled.
They don’t know me , they don’t know me...
But my name is on the highway sign, never look back.
All those troubles are done, nothing left but to run...
So meet me down and don’t be shy,
It’s a place where we can hide.
There ain’t nothing to hear, there ain’t no one back here...
Just you and I, and these clouded skies.
And see the passes we’ve outgrown.
Through the years we’ve kept our backs to the wind...
So long, be well, and goodbye my friend.

Beautiful song. No idea what it is about though.
great... one of my childhood's fave bands not sure about these lyrics, though, Whit's singing is not always easy to make out basically I think lots of the lyrics to UKJ songs are just stuff they came up with that happened to sound good, and they just didn't give a f**k My take is:
"Not seen, it’s been a while, since ..." -> "Now it seems it's been a while..." "There ain’t nothing to hear" -> "There ain’t nothing to fear" "And see the passes we’ve outgrown" -> "And see the faces we’ve outgrown"
also... "clouded skies"?!? how about "cloudy skies"....? hence the title.... :-P
