"Reaching For The Sky" lyrics - TRANSATLANTIC

Where were you when everyone
Crashed and burned and fell into the silence of the sun
With nothing to be done

And where are all the seats preferred
And all the wisemen winding up the wisest of all words
And love like dinner served

But now we're wondering at the warning
Look ahead, is the future falling down?

All along there was a time
That was following behind
Where you give yourself away
Yeah all along there was an eye
As the storm flew by
And your heart is like a whirlwind
Yeah your heart is like a whirlwind
Reaching for the sky

Another mask, a day, a night
Another task to justify the reason for your life
Don't look left man, don't look right

Now we're all locked away inside
Will we come out like miners excavating in the light
The timing must be right

What you're feeling you can't express it
You hit the streets and you get arrested
You want to scream but you can't so you press it down

All along there was a time
That was following behind
Where you give yourself away
Yeah all along there was an eye
As the storm flew by
And your heart is like a whirlwind
Yeah and your heart is like a whirlwind
Reaching for the sky

Far and away, I thought I'd be closer now
The place of knowing is far and away from me
Maybe someday when all the wind dies down
Love will come calling but it's far and away from me
Now...
