Whatever I knew was nothing at all
It was nothing at all, just making me small
Smaller and smaller, I fall back
Sooner or later with a view from the ground
Chasing the race and the races will run you down
Sooner or later with a view from the ground
And a tear in your eye, you say, baby, why can't we fly
In the blue sky
High in the blue sky
Be my singing lesson, be my song
When I tell you I'm falling, you tell me I'm strong
The trees have grown tall, the birds have flown high
Higher and higher, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I'll fly over a rainbow, I'll be sun kissed
Sail around the planet Venus
And send a long letter way back home
That says all that I know, all that I know
Is the blue sky
High in the blue sky
In the blue sky
High in the blue sky
The farther I come, the farther I fall
Whatever I knew was nothing at all
The trees have grown tall, the birds have flown high
Higher and higher, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

It's time for me buy this album off Itunes.
No, no, no, no, no. Support RP!! Click through to Amazon to purchase either the "hard copy" cd or the digital version!!
Oh, sorry... mea culpa... you can purchase itunes downloads through RP as well... sorry... but I KNOW you meant that you were going to click through RP to get to itunes, right? ;-)
Her best album.
Yup. But I think nobody agrees with us.
Totally agree. I just read an article on the guy who produced Flaming Red (Jay Joyce) - he's produced Eric Church, Carrie Underwood and some other really big acts recently. The song Tony on Flaming Red is some powerful sh!t.
So, I'll ask it again, "Has she ever recorded a bad song?"
Yup. But I think nobody agrees with us.
I do :)
Why is this not on Spotify!?
It is now.
Her voice just don't do it for me. Personal taste, that's all. And i think the guitar has been drinking...
No opinion on the guitar, but her voice on this track and others is one of the better sounds on RP, which has plenty of good sounds.
IDK, reminds me a bit of Foreigner.
heeheehee good one
