Lyrics for Pieces of Sky
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 How do you know how much you'll be missed Does it add up to some names on a list Do you know we're just pieces of sky Pieces of sky that keep drifting by
