In The Sky Lyrics
Are you home from the sea, my soul balladeer?
You've been away roaming, far away from here
Weathered a storm, your heart unafraid
Crossed every ocean in the boat that you made
Been blowing your horn, scaring the spooks
No crotchets or quavers in your books
Gone sailing all night, straight in the vein,
like a bird on his own flight in his domain
In the sky
In the sky
Running in on the tide with the first of the stars,
the moon on the water and the sound of guitars
Glide into the homing as the night falls
Tie up in the haven by the old harbor wall
And the hard-bitten stranger, as deaf as a post,
who stands at the fire where a poet's dreams roast
He can't know the story, he can't feel the pain
and all of the glory falls around him like rain
In the sky
In the sky
You're a light in the dark, a beacon of hope,
and strong as a sea boat, strong as a rope
And the vagabond wind whispers over the bay
and the songs and the laughter are carried away
In the sky
In the sky
You've been away roaming, far away from here
Weathered a storm, your heart unafraid
Crossed every ocean in the boat that you made
No crotchets or quavers in your books
Gone sailing all night, straight in the vein,
like a bird on his own flight in his domain
In the sky
the moon on the water and the sound of guitars
Glide into the homing as the night falls
Tie up in the haven by the old harbor wall
who stands at the fire where a poet's dreams roast
He can't know the story, he can't feel the pain
and all of the glory falls around him like rain
In the sky
and strong as a sea boat, strong as a rope
And the vagabond wind whispers over the bay
and the songs and the laughter are carried away
In the sky
