Songtext Shelter of the sky Carrie Newcomer

Shelter of the sky

Where I grew up there was more blue than green
You learned to like the spaces in between
Everywhere you go then there you are
No matter how surprising or how far
Some things I’ll never understand
How a weary heart can open and expand
Why my soul can only travel in one day
To edge of my longing and a little more ways

I don't know how I don’t know why
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the shelter of the sky
I don't know what it might imply
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the shelter of the sky.
I dreamt of you last night
I asked you “Charlie are you still alright?”
You smiled and then you said to me
“I’ve been out walking beneath some mighty fine trees”

I don't know how I don’t know why
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the shelter of the sky
I don't know what it might imply
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the shelter of the sky.

Everything I was and all that I’ll become
Every silent hour and song I've sung
Nothing is ever gone
But it passing by
Beneath the shelter of the
The shelter of the
The shelter of the sky
It came to me down by the lake
Like an obvious secret or an endless ache
Out at the horizon I can see,
The shelter of the sky
And some of Charlie’s trees
I’m miles away and hours from dawn,
I’m hoping you remembered
To leave the porch light on.
Everywhere you go there you are
No matter where you land, no matter how far
