Against the Sky

Whatever pulled the wind that night

It had, it bring a tree down

Untidy lime, tree holding tight

To the end of my last gardenOne of five against the sky

An elegant surrender

It broke the wall and bent the gate

And warmed us through the winterWhatever pulls the wind tonight

Will have the roof slates fly

But rows of chimney pots dont wave

Like trees against the skyThe hill behind the old house

I can trace it with my finger

Against the sky I see it still

And draw it down on paperWhatever pulled me over here

You were the main contender

And with the trees against the sky

Another lifes rememberedSome evening skies are yellow

And over my head theyre blue

What happened to the green between

It happened to me too
