And Hiding Away-The Innocence Mission

[00:00.89]And Hiding Away - The Innocence Mission [00:18.54]I prize the cloudy, tearing sky [00:22.66] [00:23.42]for the thoughts that flap and fly. [00:26.91]For staying in and reading by. [00:30.87] [00:31.96]For sitting under. [00:33.50] [00:34.35]I read a book of Madeline [00:37.50] [00:39.25]and her friends in two straight lines, [00:42.30] [00:42.83]in Paris, in a house with vines [00:46.33] [00:47.75]over its old face. [00:50.37]Far, far is Paris... [00:52.48] [00:53.18]and the sky is dark with mystery. [00:56.40] [01:14.29]Try, catch the thoughts that flap and fly [01:18.24] [01:18.95]in the cloudy, tearing sky, [01:22.04] [01:22.58]that touch and stir and won't be tied [01:26.07] [01:27.56]and try to speak them. [01:29.52] [01:30.14]I think of my old Flower Sky. [01:33.82] [01:34.95]Of us, when we thought we were spies. [01:38.02] [01:38.55]Of bobbing eggs in Easter dyes. [01:41.85] [01:43.40]Of walks in London. [01:45.42] [01:45.99]Try, try to hold my love for you, [01:50.36]it knows no measure. [01:51.98] [02:23.98]This is a day for hearing bagpipes [02:27.93] [02:28.85]somewhere playing. [02:29.99] [02:31.79]This is a day for hearing sarabands [02:36.06] [02:36.71]and hiding away. [02:40.07] [02:42.70]hiding away [02:43.98] [02:46.57]hiding away [02:48.21] [02:50.60]hiding away [02:51.92] [03:09.54]Sky, I hold my tears if you do. [03:13.04] [03:15.46]Starling thoughts, go over me.
