I Miss My Sky Lyrics - Heather Nova

I bury myself in the leaves to sleep 

The sun so strong and rage so deep 

I keep waking to find I've been dreaming again 

And the sound of the ocean is not a plane 

And far away they talk about me 

In newspaper columns they write about me 

round dinner tables and cocktail parties 

I'm a heroine and a tragic figure 

I'm a heroine as I'm lying here 

Beneath my sky

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And sometimes 

Sometimes I cry 

Sometimes 

Sometimes I wonder 

Why we're always coming down 

And why we need to touch the ground 

And why I didn't keep on heading 

right on up to heaven 

I miss my sky 

Here from below the clouds are shadows 

Not the golden mountains I used to fly through 

Here from below the sky¹s a painting 

In a child's room with the future waiting 

But not for me 

Photos 

I look up at the birds flying overhead 

My sentinel's true but the signals dead 

It's been 500 days of hope and sorrow 

500 nights with no tomorrow 

And the poetry and the best of me 

And the heart and the spirit and the sex of me 

All fell into the azure sea 

In the tailspin with the last of me 

And my wings, and my song, all that I knew is dead and gone 

I'm weak and tired but my will is strong 

And my hope lives on, my hope lives on 

But sometimes 

Sometimes I cry 

Sometimes 

Sometimes I wonder 

Why we're always coming down 

Why we need to touch the ground 

Why I didn't keep on heading 

Right on up to heaven 

I miss my sky 

I miss my sky
