Steve Forbert - Blue, Clear Sky lyrics

Sometime you glimpse at simmering childhood sense of things Sometime you sense that simple thing it brings Most times you're lonely say it's something you once knew Sometimes you glimpse and it is gone from view (Sometimes you glimpse and it is gone from view) It seems that most of the people that care the most about it Have got their backs against the wall So it's no big surprise for me to hear you say That you're behind the old eight ball Songbird sail away Jet plane fly Can't leave the land today but What a blue, clear sky (Blue, clear sky) You say you lost your money and you lost your wife Go out to have to hang unto yourself somehow Say you're a self-made man and so you know how to lose But sure could use some good news now Songbird sail away Jet plane fly Can't leave the land today but What a blue, clear sky (Blue, clear sky) [Instrumental interlude] Sometime you glimpse at simmering childhood sense of things Sometime you sense that simple thing it brings Most times you're lonely say it's something you once knew Sometimes you glimpse and it is gone from view (Sometimes you glimpse and it is gone from view) It's been a time now that I've look into to forget my friend Since we all saw the landmarks fall And in the big western world Lots of flags unfurled in the wake of the wake-up call Songbird sail away Jet plane fly Can't leave the land today but What a blue, clear sky Hum, hum, hum Blue, clear sky
