Skylark blues lyrics

There was a morning

Clear like a diamond

There was a fresh breeze

In soft April clean

I secretly watched you

High in the bright blue

Singing my young smile

Above the Spring green

New to this huge day

Of promises so many

When happiness and full strength

Blows you away

Falling in laughter

Rising on you smiles

High to your April

Is bursting with me

Skylark, skylark, looking down at me

Skylark, skylark, when will I be free?

A lifetime has passed now

Much more than one time

A life without skylarks

Only closing dark doors

In a lifetime of winters

Of crowded damp shadows

Till there's nothing left

Of the child anymore

Skylark, skylark, looking down at me

Skylark oh skylark, when will I be free?

Skylark, skylark, looking down at me

Skylark oh skylark, when will I be free?
