Sky in Your Eyes - New Model Army

Between the chords of a song years ago

You saw a crack of light or was it a cause to follow?

You’ve been chasing ever since around these streets

For just the promise of a promise and nothing more to keep

You drove us like a crazy man through those narrow cobbled streets

You said 'there's nothing to fear' and we all smiled

Round and round in that little car while the city lay asleep

The city lay asleep

With sky in your eyes, sky in your eyes

The next day we went up to a ruined temple

High on a cliff above the opal sea

And watched as the angry storms chased around the bay

And suddenly the wind rose up and the thunder cracked

And you looked like you were home with your

Weather-beaten face fixed in some kind of ecstasy

When the lightning hit the road just a few yards away

We all jumped up and shouted out but you never moved

Just stared ahead like you’d seen a ghost

So who was the ghost?

One part left behind, one part already gone

And one part standing here with sky in your eyes

With the sky in your eyes, with the sky in your eyes

If they won’t make you captain then you sail your own ship

With your own colours tied to the mast

Setting sail for the far side of anywhere

Beyond and behind your thousand yard stare

With the sky in your eyes, with the sky in your eyes
