Testo Under A Cloudless Sky - Strawbs
Testo della canzone Under A Cloudless Sky (Strawbs), tratta dall'album Déjà Fou
A painter from St. Petersburg is making headline news
He paints his masterpieces to the sound of lonesome blues
There's no one in the whole wide world can ever steal his shoes
Under a cloudless sky
The highwayman is hungry, hanging high in chains
His body may be weakened but his will to live remains
He sleeps with one eye open, watching out for planes
Under a cloudless sky
Under a cloudless sky
For forty days and nights I've been lost
(How long have you been flying?)
But I haven't had the time to count the cost
(How long have you been flying?)
The runways cracked and broken, the weeds are showing through
I've been so high, so long I've lost sight of the view
There's no one on the radio to bring me back to you
Won't somebody try and understand?
All I want to do is land
Vittorio Emanuele shows signs of deep mistrust
He carefully avoids Signora Montenegro's bust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Under a cloudless sky
All along the promenade the day has just begun
Gilded rods and coppers glistening in the sun
The painter and the highwayman are surely having fun
Under a cloudless sky
Under a cloudless sky
The highwayman broke out into a shiver
(How long have you been flying?)
The painter flung his brushes in the river
(How long have you been flying?)
High above Sanremo and out of all control
The painter sold his icons, the highwayman his soul
They played in the casino on a never ending roll
Won't somebody try and understand?
All I want to do is land
Won't somebody try and understand?
All I want to do is land
Under a cloudless sky
Under a cloudless sky
Under a cloudless sky
Under a cloudless sky
Under a cloudless sky
Under a cloudless sky
