SKY WITH NOTHING TO GET IN THE WAY
written by Connie Kaldor and Paul Campagne
My
mother painted a picture, a canvas of sky
I
look at that painting each day
‘Cause
when you’re from the flatland then you understand
Sky
with nothing to get in the way
You
know you’re lucky if you’ve seen the Cypress Hills
And
the cut knife by the river at dawn
If
you have seen the sun go down from the edge of town
The
memory lingers long after it’s gone
And
I’m sure you remember a kiss that you stole
And
the way that it made your heart fall
Between
the loves that you caught and the ones you did not
It’s
the sweetest you love to recall
And
you’re lucky if you’ve seen the Cypress Hills
And
the cut knife by the river at dawn
If
you have seen the sun go down from the edge of town
The
memory lingers long after it’s gone
And
spring is a wind, it’s cars covered in mud
Summer’s
dusty with guys at the café all talking of yields
And
winter is cold, it’s nights down at the rink
Fall’s
a halo of dust around the combine lights out in the fields
And
they won’t tell that they love it ‘cause that’s just not done
There
are things that you feel but don’t say
But
somewhere deep in your heart there’s always a part of
Sky
with nothing to get in the way
And
you’re lucky if you’ve seen the Cypress Hills
And
the cut knife by the river at dawn
If
you have seen the sun go down from the edge of town
The memory lingers long after it’s gone
If
you have seen the sun go down from the edge of town
The memory lingers long after it’s gone
from
Sky With Nothing To Get In The Way
