MARILLION - The Sky Above The Rain lyrics
rate meShe loves him
But she doesn't want him
She used to burn for him
But now that's changed
She knows he knows
And she says it isn't so
What else can she say?
But when he reaches out
She turns away
When he talks about it
She says he's cruel
So he apologises
Counts his blessings
What else can he do?
She used to gaze at him
Reach out with her toes to touch him
She still loves him
But she doesn't want him
And in her eyes he's so much less
Than the light heart she met
The laughing boy she used to know
He feels ugly now
And the ugliness creeps around inside him
Until he really is
The animal paws at him, gnaws at him
The Silver-Back wins over him
And in his pain, and bitter shame, he resents her
The one who loves him
They said they'd never lie
They'd learned their lessons from the last times
THey said they could talk
They could always talk
Deceit stirs in them now
For reasons good as well as bad
But he wants so much
Not to live another lie
To be free and high again
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Remembering the blue sky above the pouring rain
He's trying to see the blue sky above the rain
He's flown there and he's seen it
Been up there lighter than air floating in the miracle
But he can't fly until she wants him
He can't burn until she sparks him
He's dressed in lead from toe to head
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Remembering the blue sky above the rain
Maybe they'll talk
Soul to soul, head to head, heart to heart, eye to eye
Rise up to that blue space above the clouds
Where troubles die
And tears dry
Heading west and climbing
In that place the sun never stops shining
The rain's below us
