Orange Sky
Alexi Murdoch/Alexi Murdoch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky

Yes, I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said Brother, you know you know
It's a long road we've been walking on

Brother, you know it is, you know it is
Such a long road we've been walking on

And I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said Sister, here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love

But sister you know I'm so weary
And you know sister
My heart's been broken
Sometimes, sometimes
My mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong to carry on

When I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home
And here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love

Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky

Yes, I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by




With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by

(tradução da música, para quem quiser saber)

Céu Laranja
Bem, eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Sim, eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Com meu irmão por perto
Com meu irmão por perto

Eu disse: Irmão, você sabe, você sabe
É uma longa estrada na qual estamos caminhando
Irmão, você sabe que é, você sabe que é
Uma longa estrada na qual estamos caminhando

E eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Com minha irmã por perto
Com minha irmã por perto

Eu disse: Irmã, aqui está o que eu sei agora
Aqui está o que eu sei agora é mais ou menos assim
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
No seu amor, no seu amor, no seu amor

Mas você sabe, irmã, eu estou tão cansado
E você sabe, irmã
Meu coração foi partido
Algumas vezes, algumas vezes
Minha mente é forte demais pra continuar
Muito forte pra continuar

Quando eu estou sozinho
Quando eu tiro o peso dessa pedra louca
Quando eu perdi todo o cuidado pelas coisas que eu tenho
É quando eu sinto sua falta
É quando eu sinto sua falta
É quando eu sinto sua falta
Você é o meu lar
Você é o meu lar
E aqui está o que eu sei agora
Aqui está o que eu sei agora é mais ou menos assim
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
Minha salvação está no seu amor
No seu amor, no seu amor, no seu amor

Bem, eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Sim, eu tive um sonho
Eu estava embaixo de um céu laranja
Com meu irmão e minha irmã por perto
Com meu irmão e minha irmã por perto
Com meu irmão e minha irmã por perto

Well, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
Yes, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said, brother, you know, you know
It's a long road we've been walking on
Brother, you know it is, you know it is
Such a long road we've been walking on
(Oh, brother)
And I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said sister, here is what I know now

In your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
In your love, in your love
Oh, but sister, you know I'm so weary
And you know, sister, my heart's been broken
Sometimes, sometimes, my mind is too strong
To carry on
Too strong to carry on
But when I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you
That's when I miss you
That's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home
And here is what I know now
Here is what I know now, goes like this
In your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
My salvation lies in your love
In your love, in your love
Well, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
Yes, I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by

One of Prison break greatest songs 💔

@Biqavell19

It's what brought me here

@SandraMaynard-fc2bb

Love this song. My daughter had it played at her brother's funeral. My son. I also played it for my mother as she was passing.

@robertjenusaitis2890

I've NOW thrown off the weight of this CRAZY stone. Hallelujah!!

@mastaace1997

I have an assortment of mental health issues and really bad depression, and this is the song I use to help me relax and calm down. What an absolutely sublime song

@larrysmoke9818

Same<3

@bryanfitzgerald4622

I feel the same

@mrh0ck3y

Actually, contrary to popular belief, this isn't a Sublime song. This came out like 10 years after Bradley Knowell passed.

@banannz247

It brings out the feelings of love and actual life your depression and anxiety is usually displacing and channels your emotions where it makes sense ❤️ it feels soo good..I feel like I relate to this

@etripzkaraokeuberkc2121

Stay strong! Your salvation lies in your love.
