Sangtekst: Chris De Burgh. The Love Songs. Lonely Sky.

The cold North wind they call La Bise
Is swirling round about my knees
Trees are crying leaves into the river

I'm huddled in this French cafe
I never thought I'd see the day
When winter's here and summer's really over

Even the birds have packed up and gone
They're flying south with their song
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly

Take care, it's such a lonely sky
They'll trap your wings, my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky

Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

The old cathedral lights are low
She and I, we'd often go there
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer

Lords and ladies lie in stone
Hand in hand from long ago
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever

Even the choir rehearses those songs
For Christmas is not long
And alone I sing my song, she had to fly

Out there it's such a lonely sky
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky

Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

Fly away, fly to me and if you need my love
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
I'll come in with the dawn

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
On the wings of the mourn

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Above the world we'll be flying

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever
