Lyrics
The Lifting 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.
Turn my head to the sunset
Fall away for a while
And someone at my right hand
Someone at my right hand
Says "Can you believe this time?"
And I turn my face to the lifting sky
Chorus:
The lifting skies
The drifting skies
The lifting skies
The shifting skies
And no-one will walk away this time
And no-one will be forgetten
No, no-one will walk away this time
No-one will be forgotten
No-one will be forgotten
Turn my face to the river
I feel my voice fall (???)
And someone at my left hand
Someone at my left hand
Leans with her arm against mine
And I turn my face
And I turn my face
And I turn my face to the lifting sky
(Chorus)
