Big sky, big sky holding up the sun
Big sky, big sky holding up the moon
Big sky holding down the sea
But it can’t hold us down anymore
Big sky holding up the stars
Big sky holding venus and mars
Big sky catch you in a jar
But it can’t hold us down anymore
Big sky, big enormous place
Big wind blow all over the place
Big storm wrecking havoc and waste
But it can’t hold us down anymore
Ooohhh, big goals, big ambitious goals
Big talk, talking till i fold
Big wind talking through torrential love
But it can’t hold us down anymore
Big sin, big sin, big original sin
Paradise where i’ve never been
Big snake break the skin
But you can’t hold us down anymore
A big house holds a family
A big room it holds you and me
It’s a big mess and baby makes three
And you can’t hold us down anymore
Big news, they’re out of their heads
Big-big-big news, let’s fuck them instead
There’s a big joke did they think we were monks
But they can’t hold us down anymore
A big doll, big enormous eyes
Big love holds you in a vise
A big man who cut them down to size
They can’t hold us down anymore
Big sky, big sky holding up the sun
Big sky holding, holding up the moon
Big sky holding down the sea
But it can’t hold us down anymore
Oh, big doll, big enormous eyes
Big love holds you in a vise
A big man who cut them down to size, ah
They can’t hold us down anymore
Oh-oh, big sky
Big sky
Big sky
Ah, they can’t hold us down anymore
My world has died
All gusts and leaves
Your wondrous life
And love have ceased
And all you’ve touched
Is dead and gone
And night for night
We’re all alone
Big sky throning over the tree
You’ve left behind
Through these tears lost
By your forlorn only child
Big sky throning over the tree
You’ve left behind
It hurts inside
This silence new
And yet I know
The wind is you
And all you’ve touched
Is dead and gone
And night for night
We’re all alone
Big sky endless in your overwhelming pain
Free at last into the light behind this eternal rain
Big sky endless in your overwhelming pain
You’ll never pale
You’re never gone
And all within
I’m not alone
Big sky
Big sky looked down on all the people looking up at the big sky.
Everybody pushing one another around
Big sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
But the big sky’s too big to let it get him down.
Big sky too big to cry
Big sky too high to see
People like you and me
One day we’ll be free, we won’t care, just you see
‘til that day can be, don’t let it get you down
When i feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the big sky, and nothing matters much to me.
Big sky looked down on all the people who think they got problems
They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.
People lift up their hands and they look up to the big sky
But big sky is too big to sympathize
Big sky’s too occupied
Though he would like to try
And he feels bad inside
Big sky’s too big to cry
One day we’ll be free, we won’t care, just you wait and see
‘til that day can be, don’t let it get you down.
When i feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the big sky, and nothing matters much to me.
