BIGGER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE

 

 

There's a green field beneath a blue sky

There are blue flowers in between, reaching up high

And your father bends down, as he explains

That the flax is so good on account of the rain

 

And it's years of knowing

And it's years of growing

It is caught in this photo I hold in my hand

It takes me back to the field where he stands

 

Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else

And there's room enough for me

Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else

As far as the eye can see

 

It's crowded out here, there are no empty spaces

Too many buildings and too many faces

Too many things set in their ways

Too many things that  just fill up my days

 

And it's years of choices

And it's years of voices

That have taken me here to where things never change

Not like the clouds that roll in on a range

 

Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else

And there's room enough for me

Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else

As far as the eye can see

 

The cold of the winter, the dry of the fall

The first wind of spring, I miss them all

But what I miss when I feel alone

Is the one thing that makes me feel like I've come home

 

It's the skies are bigger than anywhere else

And there's room enough for me

Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else

As far as the eye can see

 

Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else

As far as the eye can see
