The Sky

There's this girl I love, she left me for a foreign city
I guess I had nothing to offer her but my heart and this lonesome town
And when I'm feeling down whiskey makes me feel much better
Then it turns its back on me and pulls me right back down

In this haze I'm wondering what's changed
On and on the world keeps turning
It won't stop while I'm still standing on it
Gravity still holds me down
But this movement makes me sick to my stomach
Only time will tell if I will burn up on re-entry
I gathered all the things I had and threw them to the sky

And as times gone by I realise I have things to strive for
No more laying at home in bed and watching the days spin by
But at times I still need to play guitar and sip on whiskey
You know we've all got time to kill and to contemplate

In this haze I'm hoping one day
On and on the world keeps turning
It won't stop while I'm still standing on it
Gravity still holds me down
But this movement makes me sick to my stomach
Only time will tell if I will burn up on re-entry
I gathered all the things I had and threw them to the sky

There's this girl I love and at time I think of fondly
But it does me no good and it wastes the days
So lets raise a glass and drink to better times to come
Yeah we've all got living to do, lets make the most of it

In this haze I'm singing one day
On and on the world keeps turning
It won't stop while I'm still standing on it
Gravity still holds me down
But this movement makes me sick to my stomach
Only time will tell if I will burn up on re-entry
I gathered all the things I had and threw them to the sky
