Lyrics
IT WAS A GREY OLD DAY, IT WAS A GREY OLD DAY
IT WAS DEEP, IT WAS WIDE, IT WAS SCARY, IT WAS MINE
BIG OLD SKY, FALLING DOWN, ON MY HEAD
CHORUS
STANDING NONSENSE ON ITS, HEAD. HEARING CANT THAT YOU SAID
TRYING TO KEEP YOUR SANITY, WHEN ALL ABOUT YOU LOSE THE THREAD
LIKE A RIVER FLOWING FAST, CAN'T BE HEARD OR UNDERSTOOD
BIG OLD SKY, FALLING DOWN, ON MY HEAD
CHORUS
AND THROUGH A CRACK I COULD SEE A VAGUE LIGHT OF ETERNITY
DRIFTING SO HOPELESSLY, LIGHTNESS MOVES SO VERY FAST IT DON'T LAST
BIG OLD SKY, FALLING DOWN, ON MY HEAD
CHORUS
BUT NOW THE SUN HAS COME OUT, IT'S WHAT LIFE'S IS ALL ABOUT
GREY'S SKIES GONE ALL BLOWN AWAY, LIGHTENED MY MOOD FOR TODAY
BIG OLD SKY, IS SO VERY BLUE SUCH A PANARAMIC BEAUTIFUL VIEW
CHORUS
