lyrics

Watching dad sit by the window
Where he’d stare across the lake
Dreaming of the prairies
And the trains he used to take
The forest couldn’t hold him
And the mountains were too high
He needed room to move in
And a big forever sky

Watching mom sit at the table
Reading tea leaves in her cup
Dreaming of the promises
And things she’d given up
Her husband couldn’t hold her
But she didn't say goodbye
[She] Only drifted deeper
Into living out their lie

Each of them aching
Each of them breaking
Each of them well knowing why
But too far beyond speech
They remained out of reach
Of a big forever sky
...A big forever sky

Watching how we lonely children
Sprang like weeds around their feet
Scramb-ul-lin’ for sunlight
Full of needs they couldn’t meet
Our parents never saved us
Though we didn’t know that then
And if we could repeat it all
We’d love them both again

Each of us aching
Each of us breaking
Each of us well knowing why
But too far beyond speech
We remained out of reach
Of a big forever sky
...A big forever sky
