Let the Sky Turn Blue

Family memory

Open the horizon — let the sky turn blue and the tempo lift.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

Red light tearing through the silence now
Comet fire across the velvet brow
I see the flash, I feel the old way rise
Closing the door before it hits my eyes
No need the door before it hits my eyes
Closing the door before it hits my eyes
No need to lock, no need to hold the line
Just make the space, let it burn and shine
Lean away, let the fire pass through
Don't catch the heat, let the sky turn blue
Relax the chest, keep the spirit light
Even when the tail cuts through the night
Dodging the tail cuts through the night
Dodging the arc, I'm floating in the air
Nothing to fight, nothing left to wear
The knot is unraveling, watch it unwind
Whatever was buried is leaving behind
The orbit is wide, the center is cruel
Playing the part, I am not the fool
Just lean, just lean, just lean, just lean
Lean away, let the fire pass through
Don't catch the heat, let the sky turn blue
Relax the chest, keep the spirit light
Even when the tail cuts through the night
Dodging the tail cuts through the night
Dodging the arc, I'm floating in the air
Nothing to fight, nothing left to wear
Midair come in the middle of this form
Let them go like a sheet of glass
No resistance, just the breath and the glide
I am the ocean, I am not the tide
Lean away, let the fire pass through
