Lyrics for Song: Lost The Sky Again
Lyrics for Album: Not Ashamed [1992]
Like a crimminal guilty on all counts, rattling his cage with every ounce
of resolve he never had,
I was convicted.
Then I took the pardon
and the walls came down,
but I must like it here,
'cause I keep hanging around
for a better suit, and an escort,
and a winning lottery ticket.
First we waited for miracles.
Then we needed a sign.
Now we're here to confess
we've wasted the time.
Chorus
Every blade will wither and fade,
as the old man dies again.
Season pass, we're clinging to grass,
'cause we've lost the sky again.
Like a woman trying to give birth,
she strains, she labors,
she's not sure if it's worth the suffering,
as she wonders, "How long?"
When I first heard the rumor
you were coming back
I confess my impatience,
I guess I lost track of what
I'm to persevere for,
of the reason you put me here for.
Back then it was any day now.
Never dreamed we were wrong.
Now we're shaking our heads,
wondering, "how long?"
Chorus
Every blade...
I feel a moment of your perfect love.
I catch a glimmer of your sweet grace.
But it only makes me long for the day
when I look full in your face.
