The Old Skylight

Verse 1

You never knew all the things I could have said to you

When you came through that old skylight

As I was running scared, thoughts of hope were rarely dared……. never thought I’d be with you tonight.

Chorus

(….and I know….. that,)

Life never seemed real before, until you dropped down to my floor, out from the night.

You know, I must’ve been miles away to ever really think you’d stay……with me tonight.

Verse 2

At first I couldn’t speak, as blood still flowed down riot streets

(We’re) safe from harm, hiding in the night.

The dreams we talked about, the love we shared, there was no doubt ……….nothing could be said about tonight.

Chorus

(….and I know….. that,)

Life never seemed real before, until you dropped down to my floor, out from the night.

You know, I must’ve been miles away to ever really think you’d stay……with me tonight.

Break

You said, you’ve never felt this feeling

You said, I’ve really got you reeling

…and don’t you know , that’s cool with me?

You said, we will feel this always

You said, we’ll never fall away

…and don’t you know , that’s cool with me?

Chorus

(….and I know….. that,)

Life never seemed real before, until you dropped down to my floor, out from the night.

You know, I must’ve been miles away to ever really think you’d stay……with me tonight.

Outro

That’s what she said.
