The Sky Is Ours

from 2013 EP by George Turner

lyrics

Down from the hill and head back through the town
Over the back roads and home again now
Wait by a windowsill pouring with rain
Sheets to the wind, I'll be home again home again now

Share half a whiskey soaked tears by the fire
Sing to the ceiling and lift us up higher
Who needs the diamonds and who needs the flowers?
This penniless love affair will dance after hours tonight

Some people seize the day, others they live by the night
I'll lay down beside you and give myself up to the sky
In a universe full of stars
Every single one of them is ours, tonight

There's mist on the windows and fog on the moon
An air thick with loneliness paces the room
Cheep wine and paper backs: food for the soul
'I love you baby,' oh no you don't, no you don't, no

Some people seize the day, others they live by the night
I'll lay down beside you and give myself up to the sky
In a universe full of stars
Every single one of them is who we are, tonight,
the sky is ours
