Sky Song

from Lightning Eyes EP by Keely Burn

/

about

Inspired by a writing prompt about the colors of the sky vs. emotions that describe them, this is about the rise and fall of a romantic relationship.

lyrics

Sunrise, sunrise
The dawning of a new love
Light a candle, sparks fly
He swears that this is true love
Blinded by beauty and innocence
Soft bodies eager to give in
The tremble of hips and fingertips
The passion when they make love
Under a deep red sky
Under a deep red sky
Sometimes when flames ignite, the smoke gets in your eyes
Sunlight, sunlight
Shielded eyes from the sun
Chaste fingers intertwined
By day they always have fun
Savoring each moment like the petals of a rose
Easy, relaxed, and natural
The world has been put to right
They kiss with their mouths closed
Under a bright blue sky
Under a bright blue sky
When flames burn down, you lose reason to lie
Starshine, starshine
The night consumes their souls
The candle has long been blown out
And terror makes them whole
The lights up above inspire hope
But they're a thousand years away
Imprinted sunspots are all that remain
Vision clears upon a death knoll
Under a cold black sky
Under a cold black sky
Now the flames are gone, and carelessly they die
Ah-oooooh
Ah-oooh, oh
Oh-ah
Ahh
