Western Sky Lyrics

Mark Eitzel Western Sky

Time for me to go away I'll get a new name, I'll get a new face Time for me to go away No I don't belong in this place



But I'm not gonna ask you why You think the parade has passed you by Or if everything good is gone into the western sky



I hate to see you look that way All the beauty has left your face That's such an easy thing to give away That's impossible to replace



So I'll take you in my two weak hands And I'll throw you so high Just to watch you fall forever in the western sky And when you land you'll turn into some kind of prize Into somebody's sweet prize



I won't see you no more Who am I to rate that high The world's a shadow of what went before The world gives off none of its own light



So please be happy baby And please don't cry Even though the parade has passed us by Well you can still see it shining in the western sky So why won't you stop crying You can still see it shining
