Pieces Of Sky - Beth Orton

These memories are just pieces of sky

Pieces of something much bigger than I

To anyone else just endless blue

I see time framed an image of you

These memories haunt me like a moon

Holds a sea like the sky holds a sun

The sea holds my tears and carries me

My heart is too heavy for one

When it’s over, it’s over

I best get busy living, been a long time gone

A dress made of air and webs and you

The wet dreams evaporate as they come true

To anyone else just endless blue

An invisible kite string connects me to you

I know that it’s selfish to think you’d come here

There’s so many people that must need you near

There’s so many people that need to know

That you’re still with them even when you go

That you’re still with them even when they don’t know

And it’s over, it’s over

I best get busy living, you been a long time gone

How do you know how much you’ve been missing?

Does it add up to some names on a list?

Do you know we’re just pieces of sky?

Pieces of time that keep drifting by
