Lyrics
Blue Sky Inside
Old Friend, you flew in yesterday and took me by surprise
Old Friend, God it's good to see the tombstones have left your eyes
All these years have passed since that day
I said I hated what looked out from your face
You had let a vulture in your veins
Old Friend, I apologize, I was no help to you
Old Friend, thank God you could find the strength to see you through
We all wrung our hands and prayed
We were so afraid you had lost the horizon
But somewhere deep inside
Your spirit wouldn't buy all those white lies
Chorus: Welcome back old friend
You have claimed your prize
Lift the weight of the night
& find blue sky inside
We won't be fooled again
No we've been through the fire
Now we know the way
To find blue sky inside
Old Friend, we showed each other pictures of our babies and our wives
Yes Friend, ain't it good to finally have someone to share our lives
It's so important to be strong
& be there when they need someone they can count on
to help them find their own blue sky inside
Chorus
Out Chorus:
Lift the weight of the night & find blue sky inside
So important to be strong & find blue sky inside
Lift the weight of the night & find blue sky inside
Yeah we know the way to find blue sky inside
Etc.
