The lyric "and the sky was still honestly blue" is beautiful to me least of all as it is quietly intelligent. I suppose that part of the message pertains to an age of innocence and where the sky appears blue, it is actually an effect of sunlight passing through the atmosphere. Blue light wavelengths absorbed by the atmosphere are diffused and the sky only really seems to be blue. It's much more romantic to just think of the sky being the perfect blue that we see on a bright clear day. I heard the lyrics and thought it was just perfect. There are loads of lovely subtle things in songs from 'Of the colour of the blue sky'
