Painted Skies

When she's sad, the world is lonely

Silver clouds are crying only

For the pain she feels so deep inside

The love she thought would save her

Has somehow now enslaved her

To a dream she thought she wanted to come true

Spread your wings, you can fly

But the dove is never free

In painted skies that shade the color of your dream

Only nightmares are real

Confusion conceals the only reason

For the feelings you can't hide

When she smiles, the world it shines

But the silver clouds are only there

To hide the distant storm that's coming soon

The love she let surround her

Has become the waves that drown her

In the sea of everchanging warmth and cold

Spread your wings, you can fly

But the dove is never free

In painted skies that shade the color of your dream

Only nightmares are real

Confusion conceals the only reason

For the feelings you can't hide

You can fly

Spread your wings, you can fly

But the dove is never free

In painted skies that shade the color of your dream

When the nightmares ensue

All that you can do is paint your sky

Another brighter shade of blue

Spread your wings, you can glide

Above the violent storms that plague your life

You paint the picture blue or grey

Fly away
