Lyrics Peter Hammill

Peter Hammill

Far - Flung (across the sky)

Alone beneath a foreign sky I wonder

Could I be any further flung than this?

Against the winds which cast me to this distant shoreline

I can still blow a kiss

To fly off in migration, heading homeward

With all my thoughts upon the wing to you.

Though all our dreams and wishes seem so distant

This much we can always do...

If we just raise our eyes

We'll share the sky.

The evening sun upon my cheeks already

The glimmer of a dawn approaching you;

Across the curvature of earth

Invisible connections bind us true.

If we just close our eyes

We'll be together in a little time...

If we just raise our eyes

We'll share the sky.
