Kay Hanley Sheltering Sky Lyrics

It was a gift to forget what I said
'Cause what you heard
Those were just empty words
Like a blast it's a telling telegraph from the past
Was it the empty things
That are gonna last?
And it made me free
The way I wanna fly
In your sheltering sky
Redemption was like
A ticker tape parade
Keep my mouth shut smile and wave
With a fistful of luck this is a stickup
So now you now the world is saved
From lipstick b___s and babes
And it made me free....
So the words hurt and my head said
You got the fire lit
So now I get it
I'll live for you if you live for me too
