"Skylark Blues" lyrics

Skylark Blues

There was a morning
Clear like a diamond
There was a fresh breeze
In soft April clean

I secretly watched you
High in the bright blue
Singing my young smile
Above the spring green

New to this huge day
Of promises so many
When happiness in full strength
Blows you away

Falling in laughter
Rising on new smiles
High till your April
Is bursting with May

Skylark
Skylark
Looking down
At me

Skylark
Skylark
When
Will I be free?

A lifetime has passed now
Much more than one time
A life without skylarks
Only closing dark doors

In a lifetime of winters
And crowded dark shadows
Till there's nothing left
Of the child anymore

Skylark
Skylark
Looking down
At me

Skylark
Oh, skylark
When will I
Be free?

Skylark
Skylark
Looking down
At me

Skylark
Oh, skylark
When will I
Be free?
