They additionally have had several other dance-inspired tunes throughout the 80s and early 90s that gained underground popularity. Other examples of their songs include 1986's "You Make Me Feel So Good" and "Modigliani (Lost in Your Eyes)" as well as 1991's "Alice Everyday" and 1992's "Flower in My Hand". The group's new wave sound has showed a debt to eccentric art rock as well as electronic music artists of the early 80s. For example, their remix of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells (Theme From the Exorcist)" was another number one smash for them.
Book of Love came to an end in 1993, with the group being dormant for some time. A best-of collection titled 'I Touch Roses: The Best of Book Of Love' came out in 2001. Receiving some critical praise, with Allmusic's Michael Gallucci labeling it as having "spare synth-pop and sunny melodies", a new Peter Rauhofer remix of "Boy" successfully hit the dance charts and brought the group back into the spotlight. They're toured occasionally since then. Ted and Lauren have also released music recently with a new project called The Myrmidons. Ted has done production work for NYC-based duo Dangerous Muse as well.
Yellow Sky
Book Of Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How it would be
If you would come
And stay with me
I'll close my eyes
And if I try
I'll be with you
Yellow sky
You went away
I don't know why
I forgot your face
As the weeks and months went by
Where do we go
When we die
Orange sun
Blue moon and yellow sky
Yellow sky
The thought of you
You're always on my mind
Were you scared
Of what I might find
We'll never know
Unless we try
I'll see you
Up in the yellow sky
Yellow sky

I dream about
I often daydream about
How it would be
What it would be like
If you would come
If you were to come
And stay with me
And remain by my side
I'll close my eyes
I will shut my eyes
And if I try
If I make an effort
I'll be with you
I will be by your side
Up in the yellow sky
In the sky that is yellow in color
Yellow sky
Sky of yellow color
You went away
You left
I don't know why
I do not understand the reason
I forgot your face
I do not remember how you looked
As the weeks and months went by
Over the course of several weeks and months
Where do we go
What happens
When we die
When we pass away
Orange sun
The sun with an orange coloration
Blue moon and yellow sky
A moon that is blue in color, with a yellow-colored sky
The thought of you
The idea of you
You're always on my mind
I constantly think of you
Were you scared
Were you afraid
Of what I might find
Of what I could discover
We'll never know
We will never understand
Unless we try
Unless we attempt
I'll see you
I will be with you
Up in the yellow sky
In the sky that is yellow in color
Yellow sky
Sky of yellow color
