Blue Skies

We were cast into the current

As were these last words that he wrote

You only get to keep the things

That you refuse to let go

You can cross every sea

Searching for a new sky

But then, just there, you'll be

"We were cast into the current"

Were the only words she said

And then she sent me off for straws

As she settled in her bed

You can burn all your daylight

Searching for a new sky

But then, just there, you'll be

We are cast into the current

And it's a heartache that I grab

A memory wound with fear and grief

And I stuff it in my bag

We can spend all our nights

Searching for a blue sky

But then, just there, we'll be
