Right for Sky

Lyrics

Know this house that I called home
 Her gentle milk was happy just to flow
 Know that her tomcats took their licks in turn
 Some branches fall to open arms
 Some paradises are a prayer too far
 Gods in the treetop making mockingbirds
 ♪
 If I could choose, I would do things right
 Teach my dreams to look me in the eye
 Sing my heart out into my hand
 Shine where light demands
 When I lose my feet in my father's shoes
 When I take your flesh with my false tooth
 When I bend until I break in two
 Call me a fool being green
 In the leaves of the world
 The leaves of the world
 ♪
 The wind blows all the wild away
 This house was kind as every hiding place
 Bones are the hardest offering to burn
 That dog will bark though no one's there
 This man went mad, breaking his easy chair
 Sing me the softest heart I've ever heard
 It's only right how this trail goes cold
 Moonlight gliding through our empty clothes
 Know I'm warm when a cloud rolls by
 Rolling right for sky
 When I lose my feet in my father's shoes
 When I take your flesh with my false tooth
 When I bend until I break in two
 Call me a fool being green
 In the leaves of the world
 The leaves of the world
