The Sky Is A Glove - Sad Lovers and Giants

Envelopes keep dropping through the letterbox inside my head

I watch them hit the doormat then explode into the room

I recognise the writing and I know that when I open them

Your words will change the rythm of this perfect afternoon

I’m floating by wearing the sky like a glove

I look out from my window ledge across the fields below me

To a cottage in a garden on a headland by the sea

Your letter holds a photograph

The faces seem familiar but the names are half forgotten

Like a stain that never cleans

I’m floating by wearing the sky like a glove

There’s nothing quite as certain as a letter from reality

Neglect your obligations and they’ll throw away the key

I’ve struggled in the curtains on the threshold of insanity

You say I’m just a dreamer but that’s all that you can see

I’m floating by wearing the sky like a glove

There’s nothing quite as certain as a letter from reality

Neglect your obligations and they’ll throw away the key

I’m cutting off the hand of fate to stop him interfering

With another dose of problems and an answer I don’t need

I’m floating by wearing the sky like a glove

The sky is a glove
