The Sky`s The Limit Lyrics

The Sky`s The Limit lyrics

Words by Matthew Kahler

 

 there are blackberry brambles down where the railroads cross

 and old timer trees wearing the spanish moss

 no better place for a boy to get lost in a dream

 he won't learn to tell a real lie for another year or two

 or offer any alibis just to please you

 forgetting the truth is something odd for him to do

 it seems the sky's the limit for the bird on the wing

 every minute now the view is changing

 it's life on earth with the ground as an optional thing

 well the boy becomes a bigger boy and that bigger boy yearns to write

 so his eyeballs take a good look at a new book every night

 it's cover to cover page by page as he reads left to right

 he may learn to tell his own tale in some summer yet to come

 but for now he serves it piecemeal never sure it's ever done

 and like the color of a baby's eye

 you see him change from this to that into someone

 the sky's the limit for the bird on the wing

 every minute now the view is changing

 it's life on earth with the ground as an optional thing

 I've been staring out this window through last years fingerprints

 studying each cloud form as it came and as it went

 slowing down the world to a crawl is a planned accident

 the sky's the limit for the bird on the wing

 every minute now the view is changing

 it's life on earth with the ground as an optional thing
