Blue Sky

    By Patty Griffin and Jay Joyce


    The farther I come the farther I fall
    Whatever I knew it was nothing at all
    Nothing at all, just making me small
    Smaller and smaller
    I fall back

    Sooner or later with a view from the ground
    Chasing the race and the races run you down
    Sooner or later with a view from the ground
    And a tear in your eye
    You say baby why can’t we fly
    Into the blue sky
    High
    Into the blue sky

    Be my singing lesson
    Be my song
    When I tell you I'm falling
    You tell me I'm strong
    You say trees have grown tall
    birds have flown high
    Higher and higher
    Goodbye goodbye goodbye
    I'll fly over a rainbow
    I'll be sun kissed
    Sail around the planet Venus
    And send a long letter
    Way back home
    That says all that I know
    All that I know is the blue sky
    High in the blue sky

    The farther I come the farther I fall
    Whatever I knew it was nothing at all
    Trees have grown tall, birds have flown high
    Higher and higher
    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
