Pieces of Sky
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These memories are just pieces of sky
Pieces of something much bigger than I
To anyone else just endless blue
I see time framed, an image of you
These memories hold me like the moon
Holds the sea like the sky holds the sun
The sea holds my tears and carries me
When my heart is too heavy for one
When it's over, it's over
I best get busy living
Been a long time gone
A dress made of air and webs and you
The way dreams evaporate as they come true
To anyone else just endless blue
An invisible kite string connects me to you
I knew that it's selfish to think you'd come here
There's so many people that must need you near
There's so many people that need to know
That you're still with them even when you go
That you're still with them even when they don't know
When it's over, it's over
I best get busy living
You'll be a long time gone
And how do you know how much you'll be missed
Does it add up to some names on a list
So you know we're just pieces of sky
Pieces of time that keep drifting by
