The Sky - Allan Taylor

There’s a time when the truth is bad

And that’s so very sad, I know

When I was a kid like a mother’s sigh

I used to hear the freight trains cry

They kept me on the go, you know

Even now I stop to hear

The big trucks a-shifting gear

It’s what I want to know, you know

There’s a time when the past is past

Filled with things that never last, I know

The freight trains' lonesome whistles cry

Becomes a song but there’s the sky

Spring always comes again

That old car, it was Christmas time

Filled with kids and they were all crying

They had no place to go, I know

There’s a time when you face your soul

To find if you are true and whole, you know

I remember your face so clear

Sometimes it seems I hear

The softness of your sigh, your sigh

And I remember another time

Autumn’s here and summer’s dying

You asked me not to go, don’t go

There’s a time when you face the sky

To find if you are here and why, you know

I like to watch the eagle fly

In the early dawn when the dew’s not dry

I hear a rooster crow

Just like a morning star

That you see from afar

Through the clear, clear sky, the sky
