The Sky Unfolds

words & music by Brian E. Langston

if I crash through the empty dark of night
will I tumble down like an angel into your sight?
with feathers all astrewn and blackened by the light
will you lift me up with the gift of your love?

the sky unfolds like a million miles of darkness
you don't see the tears well up in my eyes
the night becomes a dead man's heavy blanket
even as you reach out and lift my heart away

your hazel eyes are stars against this blackdrop
panorama of shattered midnight sighs
your saviors lips dissolve this heavy blanket
even as you reach out and lift my heart away

the sky unfolds like a million miles of darkness
you don't see the tears well up in my eyes
the night becomes a dead man's heavy blanket
even as you reach out and lift my heart away

so I shed away the pieces and become as a feather light
I let the tears wash over me and bleed my heart to rhyme
your voice breathes through me and becomes this song
your voice breathes through me and becomes this song
