Big Sky
Dave Pearce Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know this silence, been here before.
I'm walking blinded through your door.
This is a sense of things to come,
This innocence... oh, oh.

Breathe in this moment, it's come and gone
Further and faster through your soul.
Open your eyes and breathe some more,

Open your mouth... oh, oh.

Release yourself, it's a big sky.
Reveal yourself, it's a big sky.
We love, we leave. We take, we give.
Release yourself, it's a big sky.

It's a big sky...
It's a big sky...

I know this silence, been here before.
I'm walking blinded through your door.
This is a sense of things to come,
This innocence... oh, oh.

Breathe in this moment, it's come and gone
Further and faster through your soul.
Open your eyes and breathe some more,
Open your mouth... oh, oh.

Release yourself, it's a big sky.
Reveal yourself, it's a big sky.
We love, we leave. We take, we give.
Release yourself, it's a big sky.

It's a big sky...
It's a big sky...

Breathe in this moment.
Breathe in this moment.
Breathe in this moment.
It's a big sky!

Release yourself, it's a big sky.
Reveal yourself, it's a big sky.
We love, we leave. We take, we give.
Release yourself, it's a big sky.

It's a big sky.
We love, we leave. We take, we give.
Release yourself, it's a big sky.
It's a big sky.

It's a big sky...
