Timeless Skies lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Timeless Skies lyrics While traveling northwards on a back country lane I came on the village where first I grew And stopped to climb up the hill once again Looking down from the tracks to the gray slate roofs I watched the village moving as the day went slowly by In the fields we lay here, my very first love and I Under timeless arcadian skies Under timeless arcadian skies The old canal lies sleeping under the sky The barges are gone to a lost decade On overgrown banks here, lovers footsteps went by Long before ever the roads were made And in our turn we passed here and carved our names on trees As the days washed by like waves of an endless sea Under timeless arcadian skies Under timeless arcadian skies Time runs through your fingers You never hold it at all till it s gone Some fragments just linger with you Like snow in the spring hanging on I left the village behind in the night To fade like a sail on the darkening seas The shifts and changes in the patterns of life Will weather it more than the centuries And in another village, in a far off foreign land The new day breaks out opening up its hand And the sun has the moon in his eyes As he wanders the timeless skies song lyrics
