Blue Skies - Wendy McNeill

trial by flight and trial by fire

such tempting invitations take me higher and higher

the cauldron is boiling and there’s a message in the scent

says get your shit together, you’re the next ingredient

so don’t tell me that it’s pointless

that my voice won’t be heard

don’t tell me grin and bear it

cuz I know that that’s absurd

don’t tell me that it’s risky and that I might get hurt

don’t tell me what is pointless

good bye big blue skies

the eclipse of this moment feels like a sigh

i’m having second thoughts

because this road isn’t easy but

i can’t just sit there and let it go by

i could be a joker and you could be a thief

we could speak of our intentions but we both know talk is cheap

don’t tell me where you go to when you close your eyes

don’t tell me where you go to just take me there this time

one time before i say good bye big blue sky

i have roots and branches

encased within my ribs

with one deep inhalation

i could draw you in

will you build yourself a condo

right next to my heart

where you can come to visit

while we are apart?
