From the recording The Central Standards' Folly
Lyrics
Skyliner
By Jeffrey C. Capps
Polish up your old skylinin’ shoes
Kick them off when your whole world turns to blue
Figure over all the sunset schemes
Pick one out and hide it in your darkest dreams
But it’s hard to leave the ground
When there’s just so much around
Holding you down
Winterize last summer’s carefree feel
Set aside those worries that always seem so real
Know you’re fine and recognize that you’re alive
Feel the sky, embrace your blues and fly
But it’s hard to leave the ground
When there’s just so much around
Holding you down
Gravity rolls in like that fateful whistle sounds
Collects it’s toll and like the tracks
You’re tied to the ground
Tied to the ground
But it’s hard to leave the ground
When there’s just so much around
Holding you down
But it’s hard to leave the ground
When there’s just so much around
Holding you down
Polish up your old skylinin’ shoes
