Skeletonsskinandsky (redux)

One night I had a dream That I walked out onto the sea And into the sun as the waters, they swallowed it whole And when the flames burned to black I woke from the stinging ashes And open my eyes and felt the hope spark in my bones Skeletons skin and sky Most days I just get by Why does it have to go away? And when the morning fades We drown in the wide open spaces Though the night may be sure, it's the daylight that makes our hearts hurt So I keep writing these songs These songs about time and the sea And angels and dawns and singing them in my sleep Skeletons skin and sky Most days I just get by Why does it have to go? Why does it have to go? Why does it have to go away?
