February Sky Lyrics

When I said that I'd write you a song
It never crossed my mind that the words might not belong
You know I didn't want the song to go this way
I thought I knew the melody
But life it has this funny way of always changing key
Of winding round and leading me astray

The love you give is like that February sky
The flowers wonder why they bloom when it's raining
Well I'd rather drown beneath that rain than never see you shine
The hurricane reminds me that I'm living

You know I didn't mean to start this game
And I know you can't stand to see these tears fall down the drain
Well this is nothing like the pain of when you're gone
If this is just a step along the way
It's a whole lot like the struggle that I go through every day
Of losing foot but always hanging on

To the hope that I might finally reach that February sky
The flowers wonder why they bloom when it's raining
Well I'd rather drown beneath that rain than never see you shine
The hurricane reminds me that I'm living

Sometimes I wish these tears weren't so dry
It was you who taught me to let go and watch it fly
And for you now I must try to do the same
Take my love for everything it's worth
Fall down from where I stand, and put my hands around the earth
To embrace the sun but also feel the rain

'Cause without it I could never see that February sky
The flowers wonder why they bloom when it's raining
Well I'd rather drown beneath that rain than never see you shine
The hurricane reminds me that I'm living
Yeah I'm still living just don't know why
