Skylight

Cornelia Murr

Compositor: Cornelia Murr

It’s not our time baby
Don’t hold me too tightly
You gotta let a good thing breathe
Maybe I'm just afraid

I feel the pull over the sea
But stronger within me
Time’s a different thing
For you man than for me

When I come up for air
May you be in sight
I won’t forget the nights under your skylight
The framing of a dawn
All that was to come
It put me back alongside a living song

Oh the joy in what’s yet to become

I left you in the street
As you went to the patisserie
Taking care of our pretend little family
Oh to see someone that way
Well it jolted me awake
A pale fire in the morning
Followed me where I was going

When I come up for air
May you be in sight
I won’t forget the nights under your skylight
The framing of a dawn
All that could have come
It pushed me along
It didn’t need to become
