Michael Tomlinson All Is Clear
It's been raining here I can smell it in the air And I love this southern city like I spent my childhood there It is inevitable that we will soon be saying our goodbyes But I'll always have your skyline in my eyes I have loved and lost all around your city blocks And the years have gone and painted me like leaves against the rocks And in my haste to make a new life where I'm going I don't know I will turn around and wave then I am gone And as those big jet engines ignite And take me over the mountains alone I'm in flight I think of the love in my life I look out on the night and I am gone Way up here it all is clear and I'm not afraid of living with these tears Way up here it all is clear and I'm not afraid of living in these years I have watched my friends scatter out across the land And I wonder if I'll live so long to see them all again And if I don't well it don't matter they will love me all the same For the hearts that I love most remain unchanged I have dreamed of a time when I'd leave this all behind But I thought that I'd be stronger or I hoped that I'd be blind But now I know that I am neither and it hurts to say goodbye I will always have your skyline in my eyes And as those big jet engines ignite And take me over the mountains alone I'm in flight I think of the love in my life I look out on the night and I am gone Way up here it all is clear and I'm not afraid of living with these tears Way up here it all is clear and I'm not afraid of living in these years So clear Oh all is clear All is clear All is clear
