Reaching for the Sky

Where were you when everyone Crashed and burned and fell into the silence of the sun With nothing to be done And where are all the seats preferred And all the wisemen winding up the wisest of all words And love like dinner served But now we're wondering at the warning Look ahead, is the future falling down? All along there was a time That was following behind Where you give yourself away Yeah all along there was an eye As the storm flew by And your heart is like a whirlwind Yeah your heart is like a whirlwind Reaching for the sky Another mask, a day, a night Another task to justify the reason for your life Don't look left man, don't look right Now we're all locked away inside Will we come out like miners excavating in the light The timing must be right What you're feeling you can't express it You hit the streets and you get arrested You want to scream but you can't so you press it down All along there was a time That was following behind Where you give yourself away Yeah all along there was an eye As the storm flew by And your heart is like a whirlwind Yeah and your heart is like a whirlwind Reaching for the sky Far and away, I thought I'd be closer now The place of knowing is far and away from me Maybe someday when all the wind dies down Love will come calling but it's far and away from me Now
