Beyond an Orange Sky

People it seems, they lose their way
As surely as night will follow the day
Some run and hide, while some stay and fight
As surely as day will follow the night
That’s why I’m gone, beyond, that orange sky

Now I can’t deny, all I have tried
Many different things to ease my troubled mind
The hills in the fall, the stars up above
Could never lift me up, not with all of their love
And so I’m gone, beyond that orange sky…don’t ask me why

I’m leavin’, believin’, that if I get outta here
then my head will be clear
I’m fearin’, that I’m nearin’, the end of what began
As a young man’s little plan
And so I’m gone, beyond, that orange sky.

Like a leaf on a tree, or a wise man who knows
I do a little dance when that cold wind blows
So I try to make sense of what’s on the screen
But all I take away is that this movie’s obscene
And so I’m gone, beyond, that orange sky...don’t ask me why

I’m leavin’, believin’, that if I get outta here
Then my head will be clear
I’m fearin’, that I’m nearin’, the end of what began
As a young man’s little plan
And so I’m gone, beyond, that orange sky...don’t ask me why

I’m gone, beyond an orange sky
Don't ask me why...
I’m gone, beyond, that orange sky.
