In the sky
The moon on the water and the sound of guitars
In the sky

In the sky
Glide into the homin’ as the night falls
In the sky
In the sky
In the sky
He can’t know the story, he can’t feel the pain
In the sky
Runnin’ in on the tide with the first of the stars
Who stands at the fire where a poet’s dreams roast

Gone sailin’ all night, straight in the vein
Tie up in the haven by the old harbor wall
No crotchets or quavers in your books
And strong as a sea boat, strong as a rope

Crossed every ocean in the boat that you made
Been blowin’ your horn, scarin’ the spooks
In the sky
And the hard-bitten stranger, deaf as a post
You’re a light in the dark, beacon of hope
Like a bird on his own flight in his domain
And the songs and the laughter are carried away

And the vagabond wind whispers over the bay
And all of the glory falls around him like rain

Weathered a storm, your heart unafraid
