There Was Sky

from 50​/​90 2018 Demos by Frances Smith

lyrics

You were waiting by the river
you were calling to the wind
to wrap itself around the bridge
you saw clouds and you said rain

I kept the silver sweet and bright
that hung around my wrist
and I was looking at the shining
that I once had missed

And there was sky

You'd woken before the morning
and had heard the seagull cry
it knew the men were gathered
by the boats to escape the fire

And the softness of the feathers
that were falling down to earth
were like dust like fibres like ash
and I was drowned in mist

And there was sky

And it was carrying like an old man
all the grey sheets of smoke
unaware the earth was burning
we stood glowing in the orange light
there were flames on the moor
there were flames on the hills, and

You were by the river
you were waiting for a future
you were thinking of the reasons
to be better than your father
and you were praying for the day to break

And there was sky
oh there was sky
yeah there was sky
