Lonely Sky lyrics

That 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 café

I never thought I'd see the day

But winter's 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
