Here's the extended version of Over Ten Thousand Skies - the title track of the second PHOENIX ROAD album
lyrics
OVER TEN THOUSAND SKIES
Hanging over the grey sea, carried on by these winds
That blow thru my heart and play on the open strings
Whoa I’m gone again
Drifting ‘long empty highways, where did they all go?
There ain’t no more turnings I guess that we all know
Yeh we know these roads
And over all the hills and faraway
Over ten thousand skies
Sittin’ on that bench there with those deep dark eyes
Lost in time, never to find the way
Back to the old village green
And those deep, oh oh those deep distant days
Layin’ in a black garden, staring at the night sky
Feels like I’m sliding ooh I can’t seem to win
Yeh I lost again
Looking out for the daybreak, it’s just another new sky
Same old emotions play behind my eyes
No I won’t sleep tonight
Cos over all the hills and faraway
Over ten thousand skies
Sittin’ on that bench there with those deep dark eyes
Lost in time, never to find the way
Back to the old village green
And those deep, oh oh those deep distant days
I still see ya, yeh I see ya over all the hills and faraway
Two up on that ninety
Soft brown arms holding tight
Over all the years my mind replays
You’re standing by your front door
With those tears in your eyes
Now we’re lost in time, yeh we’re lost In time
Never-ever gonna find a way, find the way, find the way
Back to the old village green
And those deep, oh oh those deep distant days
