Chris De Burgh - Lonely Sky

The 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 cafe
I never thought I'd see the day
When 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 loveshe too has goneshe had to fly

Take careit'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 awayfly to mefly 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 aloneI sing my songshe 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 awayfly to mefly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
Fly awayfly to meand 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 mourn
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 ...

And though their hands are cold they'll love forever
The 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 cafe
I never thought I'd see the day
When 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 loveshe too has goneshe had to fly

Take careit'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 awayfly to mefly 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 aloneI sing my songshe 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 awayfly to mefly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
Fly awayfly to meand 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 mourn
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 ...

And though their hands are cold they'll love forever
