One Rainy and Windy Day

from Skeleton by Ellen Siberian Tiger

/

lyrics

You don’t ask the sky to fall,
You just love it ‘cause it’s blue.
You don’t ask the stars if they could please come down to you.
You don’t ask the clouds to hold you
On a cold winters night.
And that’s why the sky and I, we get on alright.

But you are not the clouds babe,
And you are not the stars.
Although from your perspective
It seems I don’t know what you are.
I’m not trying to change you,
I’m not trying to force your hand.
I’m just looking for something that the sky wouldn’t understand.

But if you are the heavens babe,
Then I’m earth.
And we’ve been trying very hard to make them meet.
But no matter how tall I seem to grow,
No matter how hard we get the winds to blow,
Your blue is higher than my leaves.

One day you tried to touch me,
Tried to reach out your hand.
The embrace was made of water
And rain, it touched the land.
And the earth it did what any earth would do
On a rainy and windy day.
All my flowers were washed away.

I did cry and you did weep
When we saw what we had done.
You withdrew your wet embrace
And brought out the sun.
And it dried me up and it burned me good,
But I didn’t know what to say.
The sun is warm but it shines from too far away.
