UNDER A VACANT SKY - Lyrics

 

MICK HART – UNDER A VACANT SKY

IN STILLNESS (instrumental)
(c) Mick Hart

YOU GOT
(c) Mick Hart

You got the look, you got the eyes
I tell myself, don’t be denied
You got the stuff, all crimson clear
I’m ready now, don’t disappear

This is a real thing going

Come next to me, into my hands
Don’t let it be, wasted and bland
Temperature rising, I feel your sweat
It’s time to see, what happens next

This is a real thing going

All the night, all the night, all the night
I need you here, just a little closer

You got the look, you got the smile
I see it clear, you got the style
I want your touch, against my skin
I’m ready now, let it begin

This is a real thing going

All the night, all the night, all the night
I need you here, just a little closer

UNDER A VACANT SKY
(c) Mick Hart

I see a man, he is the broken man
He’s wandering roaming, wondering what it takes to get it back again
I see his face, with the sadness on
His back it breaks, dragging round the weight of all that went so wrong

He wipes his weary eyes, under a vacant sky
He fights and fights, but with the fading light he’s really losing scope

But he’s holding, to where he fits
To where he’s going as the dust keeps blowing in
Oh to be back again, back into life again

Yeah he’s holding, to where he fits
To where he goes until the dust starts blowing clear

And then a voice appears, a soul from distant past
Reminds and wakes him, into conscious hope of how to get it all back

And with a deeper belief, knowing that he must
Walk a simpler line, letting go of pain and all the negative rust

And so he steps back in, back into life again

NOT EVEN NOTHING
(c) Mick Hart

I could feel, not even nothing
On and on, never seeing
Not even breathing
Feeling nothing at all

But it’s over now, here it is
Time for change and something clearer
Something better
To find my real self again

Something more is calling
No more fear and falling
Light is bleeding through the haze

Life is ready waiting
No more hesitating
Step by step I’ll find my way

So here I am, seeing clearer
Moving on, feeling stronger
Breathing deeper
Ready to taste it again

Ready to taste it again
Ready to taste it again

WEARY MIND
(c) Mick Hart

This ain’t no way for the weary mind
This ain’t no way for the weary mind
Falling out of line, fallen out of line
This ain’t no way for the weary mind

Wandering along, wondering alone
Questioning the way it all went wrong
Where to go now ? Where to go now ?
Nothing is clear and nothing is done

Gone gone gone

Leave it in the past, leave it all behind
Life it hasn’t moved, I’m stuck in limbo now
I need another way, need another way
Memory remains with all ticking by

This ain’t no way for the weary mind
This ain’t no way for the weary mind
I tell you one last time, tell you one last time
This ain’t no way for the weary mind

SAVE MYSELF
(c) Mick Hart

Help me find the meaning
Help me back in line
Help me find the reasons
To soothe my worry mind

I’m gonna save myself

Hell it burns beneath me
I feel it up my spine
Hell it’s trying to beat me
Burning up my eyes

I’m gonna save myself

Lost myself to something
Compromised my soul
Lost myself to madness
Caught up in the storm

I’m gonna save myself

Fill me up with reason
Fill me up with life
Help me find my meaning
Pull me back in line

I’m gonna save myself

SOME KIND OF A FEELING
(c) Mick Hart

I said something now I’m reaching for an answer
I thought comfort wasn’t resting anymore here

Now I’m reaching another way out
Now I’m needing another someone to believe in

Last night held me for a reason now I’m dreaming
Your touch awoke me for a moment to remind me

To believe in another way out
To put trust in another someone and believe it

Still I can, still I can, still I can

With believing

Now I’m here wondering what you’re thinking…Is it something?

Do you have some kind of a feeling ? Is there more here ?

To believe in a better way now
To hold on to a better somehow and believe it

Still I can, still I can, still I can
There’s more here to it, to get me through it
To keep believing still I can

ALL THE WAY
(c) Mick Hart

Lost I was, nowhere bound
Empty sound, all the way

Broke my mind, all inside
Fading light, all the way

Caught in the storm
Nowhere to run
Felt no place to understand

All along, rain it poured
The wind did howl, all the way

But after the storm
With calm came reward
Hope gave the road to guide me clear

Found my legs, found my strength
Back again, all the way

All the way

HEAVY BIND
(c) Mick Hart

I gotta know how you feel
I need to clarify what is real
I got a heavy mind, I got a heavy mind
And I can see ahead there’s something out of line

And so the heat is coming
So the heat is coming
Yeah the heat is coming
And inside there’s an answer to the end of this

I see trouble is still here
I see no kind of change to make it all clear
I’m in a heavy bind, I’m in a heavy bind
All I can hope is somehow there’s something better in time

Chorus

I got a heavy mind, I’m in a heavy bind
I’m in a heavy bind
All I can hope is somehow there’s something better in time

Chorus

I’m in a heavy bind

TELL ME WHAT YOU’RE WAITING FOR
(c) Mick Hart

My world has changed, so let it begin
In slow amazement, sitting in the wings

Took a fall from grace, giving up a love song
Take a ride in fate, waiting for a new one
Waiting for a new one

Not here for games, reminded by the time
Already late, falling far behind

In a sea of strange, letting go of all wrong
Promises in vain, ready for a new one
Ready for a new one

So tell me what you’re waiting for
Tell me what you’re running from
Tell me when your light is on

Realness is waiting for you
Realness is waiting for you now

Chorus

Tell me why you’re waiting
Tell me what you’re waiting for

ONE STEP AT A TIME (instrumental)
(c) Mick Hart

 

ALL OVER ME
(c) Mick Hart

Here inside my mind I’m waiting for a sign and letting
Letting go of wrong

In the past I’m guilty, of so much holding onto nothing
Holding way too long

And it was all over me, all over me
All over me, guilty

I used to see the darkness, swallowing my sense of spirit
Darkness way too long

Along the way I stumbled, forever falling in the mud
Dirtying up my way

And it was all over me, all over me
All over me, guilty

Now all before has disappeared, drifting in the breeze and blowing
Blowing gone gone gone

And now I see the sunlight, beaming down against my skin
Brightening up my life

And it’s all over me, all over me
All over me, like sweet light
Yeah it’s all over me, all over me
All over me, guilty

LIGHT IS ON IT’S WAY
(c) Mick Hart

What’s going wrong ? Have you lost your way ?
Don’t let them win, don’t let them in
You will have your day

Come closer now, you are not alone
Don’t give it in, don’t give it in
Light is on it’s way

Don’t carry the heat
There’s hope up ahead
Don’t worry the weight
You will have your day

Don’t worry now, time is still your friend
Rest peaceful now, rest peacefully
Light is on it’s way
