Blue And The Grey

Parkway Drive · Atlas [2012]

Dear sky,

Dear sky don't cry for me,

Be the hope I could never reach

Cold sea, please don't let me sink

Wrap your arms around me and carry me home



I stood at the shore and spoke to the ocean

I stood in the water and let my guts spill

I said "You and me, we're not so different,

I see my reflection in all that you do"



We both keep our secrets

We're both, oh so blue

My heart is full of darkness

I know that yours is too



I sat on the rooftop and screamed at the sky

I sat on the edge until I knew deep inside

Like the sky, I will always be empty

The horizon, my love, forever just out of reach



We both keep our secrets

We're both, oh so blue

My heart is full of darkness

I know that yours is too



Distance was born when the sea and the sky grew apart

Loneliness was born the day I let you go

I let you go

I let you

I let you - I let you go

I let you - I let you go

I let you go



So now I stand at the shore and speak to the ocean

I stand in the water and let, let my guts spill

Let my guts spill



We both keep our secrets

We're both, oh so blue

My heart is full of darkness

I know - I know that yours is too



Dear sky,

Dear sky don't cry for me,

Be the hope I could never reach

Cold sea, please don't let me sink

Wrap your arms around me and carry me home



Dear sky

Dear sky
