Papa's Gone to the Clear Sky

Papas gone to the clear sky now
Papas gone to the clear sky
Is it raining from the heavens?
Oh it's raining down on my love
Now that papas gone to the clear sky

When I was a sleepless babe you carried me through the valley
When I was a sleepless babe you rocked me to our song
The moon and the milky way and the beating of your steady heart
But now papas gone to the clear sky

Took me to the rocks to show me how to travel in time
Took me to the rocks to show me how to travel in time
Taught me to read the language of the pages of the land
But now papas gone to the clear sky

Papas gone to the clear sky now
Papas gone to the clear sky
Is it raining from the heavens?
Oh it's raining down on my love
Now that papas gone to the clear sky

When you were a fragile man I walked you round the church
When you were a frightened man I lay with you in the dark
I lay down now at the empty space in everything I do
I search for you in the clear sky

In the small hours of the night
I watched you struggle against the tide
In the small hours of the night
I lost my faith in just and right
All my hope came to rest its head in the horror of the fight
I find no peace in the clear sky
Papas gone to the clear sky now

Papas gone to the clear sky
Is it raining from the heavens?
Oh it's raining down on my love
Now that papas gone to the clear sky

He told me that the stars were mobile homes for souls
Honking down like cars on these cosmic roads
And every life and love keeps moving up there when we go
And papas gone to the clear sky

He took me to the mountain to find the tallest tree
To show me that the smallest droplets feeding the leaves
Like every rotten memories now a sweat bead on my skin
Eternally returning again and again

Eternally returning again and again
Eternally returning again and again
Eternally returning again and again
Eternally returning again and again
Eternally returning again and again

Papas gone to the clear sky now
Papas gone to the clear sky
Is it raining from the heavens?
Oh it's raining down on my love
Now that papas gone to the clear sky
