The Sheltering Sky (acoustic version, vocal - Andrew McDermott)
The Sheltering Sky
Here in the dark I can see clearly All that I am burns on my eyes Nobody knows the road that's before me Nobody sees the darkening skies Here in the light I'll be your angel Under your spotlight I'm learning to fly But one man's perception is another's deception And dying to feeling I'm living a lie And in my understanding I find no reason
You can tell me I'm strong like a gathering storm But I'm lost in my thoughts and dead to the world You gave me sheltering sky but I reached for the stars I said I don't believe in who you are But it's only words
Deep in the dark I feel like I'm falling Voices and visions are pulling me down I need you to help me escape from this ocean I need you to stop me from learning to drown You seem so understanding I find no reason
You can tell me I'm strong like a gathering storm But I'm lost in my thoughts and dead to the world You gave me sheltering sky but I reached for the stars I said I don't believe in who you are I never thought I'd let it go this far but it's only words
