October Project - Sunday Morning Yellow Sky lyrics

rate me

(When the darkness falls like a curtain

And the night ahead is a long and uncertain dream

Beyond the loss and the hope of redemption)

At the broken heart of the city

Where the hollow light of day never reaches in

A man can break down and fall into pieces

He will fall asleep like a baby

And the unforgiving arms of the cradle

Rock as hard as the face of the city pavement

Hide your eyes

Hide your eyes

He can see the face of a lover

In the lonely face of the angel above him

Carved into the stone that is changing around him

He can feel her breathing inside him

And the unforgiving visions deny him

Life can only be what a man can make it

Hide your eyes

Hide your eyes

Sunday morning

Yellow sky

The sun is floating diamond high

Hours passing

A baby cries

In the arms of someone you imagine

Close your eyes

This is your lullaby

Close your eyes

This is your lullaby

He can feel his skin like a prison

Like a dying cage he struggles to live inside

He tries to call out but nobody hears him

At the ragged edge of the silence

In the calm that only comes with the violent sleep

Inside the heart and the hope of redemption

Hide your eyes

Hide your eyes

In the heart of someone you imagine

Close your eyes

This is your lullaby

Close your eyes

This is your lullaby

(Down, down, down

Would the fall never come to an end?

Wonder how many miles I've fallen

Must be somewhere near the centre of the earth

How funny it will seem to come out among the people

Who walk with their heads downwards

Down, down, down

Down, down, down

Would the fall never come to an end?)
