In the Sky

In the sky
And strong as a sea boat, strong as a rope
In the sky

In the sky

And the songs and the laughter are carried away
In the sky
No crotchets or quavers in your books
And all of the glory falls around him like rain

He can�t know the story, he can�t feel the pain
Glide into the homin� as the night falls

Gone sailin� all night, straight in the vein
You�re a light in the dark, beacon of hope
And the hard-bitten stranger, deaf as a post

Crossed every ocean in the boat that you made
In the sky
Who stands at the fire where a poet�s dreams roast
The moon on the water and the sound of guitars
In the sky
Tie up in the haven by the old harbor wall
Weathered a storm, your heart unafraid
Runnin� in on the tide with the first of the stars
In the sky
Been blowin� your horn, scarin� the spooks
Like a bird on his own flight in his domain

And the vagabond wind whispers over the bay
