The Sky Is High

Today the sky is high
Today the sky is blue
Mountaintops came out to play
Chased the ghosts and the mists away

Windows flung open
Red robes hung to dry
Prayer flags snapping
Gold against the sky
Across the meadow
On a sunlit rocky pile
A lone violet lifts up her face and smiles

Today the sky is high
Today the sky is blue
Today my broken bulldog heart
Forgot to think of you

Rainy days will come once more
Fat clouds will rub their bellies
Across the valley floor
And in those thin dark hours
I’ll dig you from the dirt
Nights drag like broken wings
Nights still hurt
