s swirling round about my knees,
Trees are crying leaves into the river;
I`m huddled in this French cafe
I never thought I`d see the day,
When winter`s here and summer`s really over,
Even the birds have packed up and gone,
They`re flying south with their song,
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly,
Take care, it`s such a lonely sky,
They`ll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,
They`ll build a cage and steal your only sky,
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I`m sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
The old cathedral lights are low
She and I we`d often go there
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer;
Lords and ladies lie in stone,
Hand in hand from long ago,
And though their hands are cold they`ll love forever,
Even the choir rehearses those songs
For Christmas is not long.
And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly.
Out there it`s such a lonely sky,
They`ll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,
They`ll build a cage and steal your only sky,
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I`m sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love,
I`m sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
I`ll come in with the dawn,
I`m sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
On the wings of the mourn,
I`m sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
Above the world we`ll be flying,
I`m sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
And though their hands are cold they`ll love forever.
