The Sky Lit Up Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

I'm walking in the city tonight 

I'm walking in the city at dark 

Remembering, remember light 

Thinking of nothing, and the shooting stars 

And this world tonight is mine 

A world to be remembered in 

Think on a faded photograph 

My hair longer than it's ever been 

The sky lit up 

The sky 

My friend 

The sky lit up 

The sky my friend 

And I'm lighter than I've ever been 

I saw the trees crossing the moon 

I saw the stars and heaven above 

Shine on my own beautiful prayer 

Shining on my own beautiful love 

The sky lit up 

The sky my friend 

The sky lit up 

I'm lighter than I've ever been 

And I'm dancing with him 

In this city and in this town 

I don't care what he's thinking of 

Just take the car, just take my hand 

The sky lit up 

The sky lit up 

The sky lit up 

The sky lit up
