THE ANCIENT SKY - Words and Music by Bob Ryan (C)2006
up on the edge of the canyon / eyes squinting from a brilliant sky / and deep from the floor of the valley / rise the echos of a plaintive cry / where's the stars from on high / we need that help from the ancient sky // we wait at the edge of the banquet / all dressed up in the fading light / the thief, the slave and the harlot / and the rest entranced by the sight / to reach that feast, we'd need to fly / we'd need that help from the ancient sky // the ancient sky full of sunlight / and the moonlight and the stars / so the east is known from the westside / and the inside of our home / with the help of the ancient sky // when that guiding light has faded / and the moon's ceased to give its light / and the dark of the world gets heavy / and the good of the heart has lost its fight / its renewed with the lover's sigh / we get that help from the ancient sky
