[Lyric] Shelter Of The Sky (Carrie Newcomer)

[VERSE 1]
Where I grew up there was more blue than green
You learned to like the spaces in between
Everywhere you go, there you are
No matter how surprising or how far

[VERSE 2]
Some things I will never understand
How a weary heart can open and expand
Why my soul can only travel in one day
To the edge of my longing and a little more ways

[Chorus]
I don't know how, I don’t know why
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the sheltеr of the sky
I don't know what it might imply
I've always felt so at homе
Beneath the shelter of the sky

[VERSE 3]
I dreamt of you last night
I asked you, “Charlie are you still alright?”
You smiled and then you said to me
“I’ve been out walking beneath some mighty fine trees”
[Chorus]
I don't know how, I don’t know why
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the shelter of the sky
I don't know what it might imply
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the shelter of the sky

[BRIDGE]
Everything I was and all that I’ll become
Every silent hour and song I've sung
Nothing's ever gone
But it's passing by
Beneath the shelter of the (shelter of the)
Shelter of the (shelter of the)
The shelter of the sky (shelter of the sky)

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE 4]
It came to me down by the lake
Like an obvious secret or an endless ache
Out at the horizon I can see
The shelter of the sky and some of Charlie’s trees

[Chorus]
I don't know how, I don’t know why
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the shelter of the sky
I don't know what it might imply
I've always felt so at home
Beneath the shelter of the sky
[VERSE 5]
I’m miles away and hours from dawn
I’m hoping you remembered to leave the porch light on
Everywhere you go, there you are
No matter where you land, no matter how far
