Day Of Reckoning Lyrics - Western Skies - Roddy Frame

Satellite town shook up youth 

I used to dream of an unshakeable truth 

Something I could fly my flag upon 

and never need to give in 

But now I'm all through taking swipes 

I got promoted and I lost my stripes 

I'm ditchin' all I've been bitchin' about 

and letting love come in 

I used to walk down lonely street 

Past the bars and the grand hotels 

Checking out all the beautiful people 

who were checking in 

Now I walk like the street is mine 

Hand in hand with our dreams entwined 

Baby, you brought about my day of reckoning 

I see the sun paint the whole town red 

And softly show me back to you instead 

I'm confessin' all my sins and I'm reachin' 

with a higher aim 

Strolling down by the marketplace 

Hangin' music on a half - seen face 

But rollin' round in my head is the sound of 

"I Heard Her Call My Name" 

What's the deal with the fear I feel, 

is it the real me squealin'? 

On the one on the run from the sum of my heart and soul 

Who'd take a trip round the universe 

In my head while my world got worse 

And disengage, slip my stays, float away until I'd lost control
