Barbara Dickson — The Sky above the Roof lyrics

Lyrics

The sky above the roof
Is calm and sweet
A tree above the roof
Bends in the heat
A bell from out the blue
Drowsily rings
A bird from out the blue
Plaintively sings
Ah God! A life is here
Simple and fair
Murmurs of strife are here
Lost in the air
Why dost thou weep
Oh, heart
Poured out in tears?
What hast thou done
Oh, heart
With thy spent years?
