People Of The Sky

(álbum: Twice Removed - 1994)

(I once knew a pair
That used to fit very tight
But now a man's standing tall
In the wake of this night
His eyes are watering in anger
At the thought of her sight
The scene of adultery
Sets the stage for his plight)

On an innocent trip
How can one ruin so much
A belief in a soul, in a beauty
Or in a touch
It's like a three-legged dog
In search of a crutch
Dissecting in past
All the motives of such

She once loved this person in a trial
Out of sight
Disposing of the present situation
It felt right
Two winters and summers
Passed over like a sound
And now the two of them are lost
In a screaming battleground

With support all around him
Like a fence or a drink
He realizes in sadness
That now he must begin to think
To filter his energy
Upon losses and fame
She'll think of the restful, the peaceful
Or the gain

His sister's a friend
She's like a relative to both
Obliged to her brother
Under silhouetted oath
But she's there for the two
With her bias undone
And she'll help see it through
Under moonlight or sun

But today they've still yet
To look each other in the eye
And in a second he manages to dip
To the other side
Up to the people of the sky
And now he'll never die
