Lyrics
Sky's like the sea / No clouds are hanging out and bothering me
And the blues that brought me down / I cannot carry them in the world I've found
Chorus:
And yes I've grown back young and left the games I lose
And the air is endless and the earth is new
Still I wonder if everything you told me was true
I'm wide awake / New day is on the rise and the world is taking shape
And the blue wren in the trees / He's got his song to sing and it's the same for me
Go on ahead, grow old and shrivel up, yes I don't mind one bit
Me, I'm staying young / My heart is turning out and that's the way I live
Bridge:
Look at the lives of us people
Look at the white of your eyes
Do you think the morning might wake us
Do you think these structures will bind or break us?
