Painting the Sky – Written Tuesday 11th March 1997 (Aged 22)

Painting the Sky

if you are watching me
i just need to know why
i have been running, painting the sky
telling stories, do not need to lie
if you are spectacular
i just want to know why
when you run, i need to know
why you do not fly
or even begin to wonder why
if you are out on your own
i would like to know why
below us is everything
i have been running, painting the sky
as the day goes
and as the time dies
to warm the chill of my toes
and as the soul reflects in my eyes
i have been running, painting the sky
