lyrics

Up above the angels sleep without dreaming
Up above the treetops whisper and sigh
Up above jets of silver are screaming
Up above the sun burns a hole in the sky

Down here roots grope blindly for moisture
Down here shadows pool on the ground
Down here we dig in the shallows for oysters
Down here the heat swallows up every sound

You climb the rusty fire escape
To the top of the old bank buuilding
And you stretch out your arms
As though you could clutch the blue
In your greedy fingers
Like a kite tugging on a string
Or a dog straining its leash
There's the sky above and the earth below
And in between there's only you

After the rain
The street awakens
For a while
