BLUE SKIES AGAIN 

Dear winter bird 
How long can you last? 
Before it gets too cold 
And the earth asks you back

Dear bended bow 
You’re ready for the sun
The Old Man is leaving 
A longer day’s begun

CHORUS:	Suddenly I can see blue skies again
		Its beauty says nothing less than our hearts will mend
		I promise you, they do

Birch trees are bones
Stripped of their leaves 
Pressed between the pages
Of my memories 

This heart of mine 
Is ready for the spring
Open up my window
Winter bird take wing
CHORUS

BRIDGE:	It’s not easy to pretend, it’s not easy to pretend
		It’s not easy to pretend
		That I can see blue skies again
		CHORUS



Blue Skies Again

Camera One

The sandy haired son of Hollywood
Lost his faith in all that’s good
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
Hung his clothes on the shower rod
Though he never got undressed
And he never made a mess
CHORUS:	It’s funny how life turns out
		The odds of faith in the face of doubt
		Camera one closes in 
		The soundtrack starts and the scene begins
		You’re playing you now, you’re playing you now
		Take a bow

The trophy wife of Palisades
Whose yearbook beauty never fades
Sits and watches the sea fold in
And wonders what might have been
If she ever had her chance
Would she do it all again?
CHORUS

BRIDGE:	On the corner by the street
		He sits in his lawn chair in the heat
		Sightseers see what they want
		He selling star maps to the sun

The sandy haired son of Hollywood
Lost his faith in all that’s good
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
Hung his clothes on the rod
Though he never got undressed
And he never seemed depressed
CHORUS
