I'll be a sky, so full of vanity now
That little falcon's diving too, lover
So when I'm restless they could leave somehow
What in the world I'm gonna do out here

I feel that I'm a little lost most of the time
But I don't really mind, oh, when my heart feels young
I travel through the storms but then I hang to dry
And I don't really mind, oh, when my arm is in the rain and the sun

And they'll be working the only skies I know
Working the only skies I'll ever know

The sun is up there like a blazing eye
And I go swimming in the cold river
And I get hungry for the big ideas
How I could carry this whole world, brother

I feel that I'm a little strange most of the time
But I don't really mind, oh, when my heart feels strong
I travel through the storms but then I hang to dry
And I don't really mind, oh, when my arm is in the rain and the sun

As they'll be working the only skies I know
Working the only skies I'll ever know

I travel the fever road
I travel clouds of my mistakes
And sure, I can drift away
But I'll be just around the corner from your love

There is a world within the world somehow
And it will steal me in the long winter
Oh, how I wish that I could call it now
Just to remember there is peace somewhere

I feel that I'm a little strange most of the time
But I don't really mind, oh, when my heart feels strong
I travel through the storms but then I hang to dry
And I don't really mind, oh, when my arm's in the rain and the sun

And they'll be working the only skies I know
Working the only skies I'll ever know
