lyrics

Cover up the Sky

Let’s go dancing with clowns on
Life’s fast carriage
With painted faces that fear love and
Daybreaks, with heartache

Without it we could try – to cover up the sky
And turn on this fairground night
Tonight, seems right

Surfing on waves to a place that’s
Like no other
Where only fate-riders go with
Snowflakes brave snowflakes

But whilst we’re drinking
I can’t stop thinking
‘All our pain is art’

Without it we could try – to cover up the sky
And turn on these fairground lights
Tonight, seems right

coda:

And I, can only try -
And I, can only try -
And I, will always try
To turn on –
This fairground night.

about

Gary Hurlstone UK

I tell stories - work created over years of performing and writing. Thematically this can include just about anything!

In a varied and colourful career, I have also busked on the Chinese underground, been banned from playing festivals by the PRC Communist Party, sang at the opening of a Kitchen Appliance Shop and appeared second on the bill to a singing dog! All character building stuff.
