In the shady cool of our TV roomWe watched the scary parts through our fingersIt was make believe, it made for the darkest dreamsWhen you’re eight, they’re the kind that lingerI ran outside for some comfortThe sun, it was blindingNothing bad could ever happen under a sky this blueNothing bad could ever happen under a sky this blueIt was my senior spring, he was my mother’s offeringA man might make things betterWe could predict his mood by what the clouds would doWe befriended the weatherI found my mother on the roadHer hands were shakingNothing bad could ever happen under a sky this blueNothing bad could ever happen under a sky this blueThe view from my bed was gold and redFull of fall in New York CityFacing southWe watched the clouds turn blackThe clouds turn blackThe clock turn backNothing bad could ever happen under a sky this blueNothing bad could ever happen under a sky this blue
