Text: Kay Hanley. Sheltering Sky.

It was a gift to forget what I said
'Cause what you heard
Those were just empty words
Like a blast it's a telling telegraph from the past
Was it the empty things
That are gonna last?
And it made me free
The way I wanna fly
In your sheltering sky
Redemption was like
A ticker tape parade
Keep my mouth shut smile and wave
With a fistful of luck this is a stickup

So now you now the world is saved
From lipstick boobs and babes
And it made me free....
So the words hurt and my head said
You got the fire lit
So now I get it
I'll live for you if you live for me too
