Next to the Sky

V.1
  From the very moment I arrived it rained
In that foggy, sleepy, seaside inn, where I could relax
Gone are the crowds on the beaches
Just me, a soft easy chair and sci-fi paperbacks
You said you noticed me right away
Funny, cause I'd been looking forward to being alone

CH
   
And the rain came down, down
But you and I all night on fire, fire
With the thunder rising and falling, falling
Right up next to the sky
Right next to the sky

V.2
 
Talking and touching we dove into each other's eyes
Kisses spicy as licorice, soft as your baby blues
Unsure and sure we ran, up to my room
Discovering every last inch from your toes to tattoos
Taking in all of you
Funny, cause I'd been looking forward to being alone

CH
 
Repeat

BR
 
Life was simpler then
Less complicated than it is now

V.3
 
Come time to leave, I got to go so far away
But spirits conspired, sending me back to your side
We spent the evening making out at the carnival
The Ferris Wheel man just let us ride on and on…
and on and on…
Holding on by our lips
So glad I don't have to spend my time alone
   
CH
 
And the wheel went round, round
But you and I all night on fire
With the thunder rising and falling, falling
Right next to the sky
Right next to the sky
