Left a trace
On my lips
Do you always run away when it gets wild?
Bittersweet
Fleeting bliss
I guess I haven't felt electric for some time

Feels like a new rush, new rush flowering
Oh, like a break in the ice
Felt like the clouds got tired of opening
But oh, I ain't felt light in a while

Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time

Wide awake
From the breeze
How the hell did I get so numb to desire?
Mix the paints
On the page
'Cause I ain't nothing without joy and sorrow's fire

Feels like a new dawn, new song playin' loud
Oh, this bitter peace in my mind
Felt like the stars got bored of coming out
But oh, I caught 'em up there last night

Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
It's about damn time, damn, time
Damn time

Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?
Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?

Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time

Pretty good song. Lyrics are great, they must have lived in Seattle at some point. LOL

Is that a blue sky, is that a blue sky? Its about damn time.




Well, they are from Great Britain and it can be quite gray and wet there too.  I identify with the emotional metaphor presented.  Good tune.
OH NO!!!

This earworm infected me for about 24 hours last time Bill played it. It's a very invasive tune and chorus lyric

I know exactly how you feel. But I'll take it any day over mid-west snow and California wildfires.


Spoke too soon. Blanketed in snow today!

I suppose this affirms their English origins?!
First listen.  Liking it and not sure quite why.  Strings?  Wall of sound?  I'll just go with it for now.
I really like this! Once again RP bringing the new music into my life! Thanks William!
