Lyrics
Love in the Sky
Martin Thomas ©? 2005
There's blood at my heels
I know just how it feels in the wake
a grudge or a guess
I judge a success or mistake
We all take a turn
to brandish or burn what is dear.
The lessons we learn
we answer from love or from fear
The traveling medicine show is coming to town
bringing two tyrants, two heroes, a sage and a clown
Nothing and something are suddenly one of the same
There's blood in the sky
and now I know just why I came
The songs that we pray
The prayers that we play and we live
The prize in our eyes the earth so abundantly gives
The sun and the Earth
cannot give us birth without rain
There's blood in the sky
and now I know just why I came
The traveling medicine show is coming to town
bringing two minstrels, two muses, a stage in the round
Nothing and something are suddenly one of the same
There's love in the sky
and now I know just why I came
what's inside my mind and outside are one of the same
There's Love in the Sky
and now I know just why I came
