C G
[Verse 1]
G
"is it lasting?", and in asking
C Cmaj7
The sphere becomes a line
D
A dotted line, and to follow it
C G
You must make a jump each time
[Verse 2]
G
A dotted page, A dotted hillside
C Cmaj7
A blast of dots
D
A blind reader, A flock of sheep
C G
A blast of trumpet shots
[Chorus]
C Bm C
Here - all we have here is sky
Bm C
All the sky is is blue
Bm Em Am D
All that blue is is one more colour now
[Verse 3]
G
A basket of apples, By the back door
C Cmaj7
Beneath the sweater pegs
D
The autumn leaves, Lift along the street
C G
A pair of dancing legs
[Verse 4]
G
Same as the vendor, Who likes to sing
C Cmaj7
As loudly as he can
D
And all he says is, It suits me fine
C G
That's the way I am
[Chorus]
C Bm C
Here - all we have here is sky

Wide as the widest skies

Well - at least as big as me

[Verse 6]
A
These are some reasons, And same as the seasons
D Dsus2
They hold and then they fly
E
The goatless ledge, 'neath the honkless geese
D A
In the speckless sky
D A
The speckless sky
