Ari Hest - Silver Skies Blue Lyrics
(Featuring Judy Collins)






Drifting Away


[ Featuring Judy Collins ]

Out on a blue southern ocean
I am humbled looking skyward
Beholden to the current
Floating on a gentle summer wave
Dreaming the day, drifting away

Nothing to do but do nothing
In the stillness of the moment
In the kindness of the sun
Just to be, the only thing I crave
Dreaming the day, drifting away

It's been a long lonely winter
Though my body had recoiled
I'm now opened by the water
Renewed with a purpose
To return to you the love that you gave
Embracing the day, drifting away

There is a cloud hanging over
But I am looking past her
Though she is majestic
To the endless sky above
I've finally found the courage to be brave
Dreaming the day, drifting away

The Weight


[ Featuring Judy Collins ]

I'm goin' down to the riverbank this morning
Way before the family is awake
Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water
And spill out all my troubles for everyone's sake

You can't have love when you never can surrender
I been spreading around my anger like a plague
I've sailed this far with my boat on fire
Fighting flames each day too stubborn to expire

I will soak my soul
Let the river take control
Let the river take control
I know it's not too late
To let go the weight
To let go the weight

The sun will rise and shine on me this morning
It will seep its way into my heart
Cnd untie all the knots, that have hardened me through the years
Cnd I'll embrace wisdom that sun will impart

Cnd with this heat burning inside me
I will warm all of the people that I love
In their darkest of hours and weakest of minds
I'll light up their nights with every star I can find

Aberdeen


[ Featuring Judy Collins ]

When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days
Trade in the truck and these fields of green for a ticket on the airways
I've seen pictures in magazines of skyscrapers and light displays
And all that I can think about is getting away

Every dollar I have saved
Every winter I have braved
Every road that I have paved
Leads to somewhere
Never was there any doubt
I would make my way out
I want to know what life's all about
And I will get there

Like clockwork the sun rises on this farm
Brightens the hills and wakes the trees, this town has its charm
But when you see it day in and day out for over twenty years
What once was a choice becomes obvious, now it's clear

[Chorus]

When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days
I'm not quite sure which way I'll lean, but it won't matter anyway
And I'll never forget about you,
We'll meet again someday
But all I know is I can't stay

[Chorus]

Strangers Again


[ Featuring Judy Collins ]

Long before we ever touched
Long before we knew too much
I wish we were strangers again

Long before we ever kissed
Long before I ever missed you
I wish we were strangers again

I want yesterday to come back again
Nothing is as simple as I once knew
Why can't everything be the way it was
Before the day that I lost you?

Long before the afterglow
Long before our tears fell slow
I wish we were strangers again

[Chorus]
