Blood Stained Sky

by Paul Fogarty

/

lyrics

I’ve been swimmin’ in the ocean
Underneath the burned out stars
Swimmin’ in the ocean
Salt water don’t heal the scars
I cut out a piece of my heart
painted up a blood red sky
Blue whale smoking cigarettes
Says “big boys ain’t supposed to cry”

I met a girl who gave her heart
To a memory of love gone wrong
She cried to me, but I could not see
Any place I could belong
She kissed me on the cheek one day
Blew her breath across my face
I held her still, I could not fill
Her sorrow with a brief embrace

She smiled a smile that broke my soul
In scattered pieces on the soft white sand
She touched my heart with tenderness
she couldn’t hold my trembling hand
I told her I would love her til
The seas had all run dry
She swims upon the ocean now
Crying tears to a blood red sky

She locked herself in a gilded cage
Like a bird that broke its own wings
She dreamed her dreams through frosted glass
Nobody heard the songs she’d sings
She stood beneath a rainbow
All the colours flowed into her feet
When I reach out to touch eternity
She is the only one in my street

She is the only one
She is the only one
She is the only one
