April Sky Songtext
von Daniel Gadd

I came in on the back of a bad storm
Ducked into a doorway off Church Avenue
And the lamppost light glowed soft and warm
So I stayed a while and watched the night go by
Saw a cloud of smoke rise high
Curl from a chimney like a sigh
Into an April sky


And I took a job the first place I could find
In a kitchen tucked away beneath the railway line
And the trains would cross above from time to time
And the pots and pans would rattle on the wall
Like some ancient battle call
Feel like a general sent to war
On a foreign shore

There′s a girl I had my eye on for a while
She works behind the counter at the jazz cafe
If I could only find the words to make her smile
I could stop pretending not to know the names
Of the records that she plays
She's got Bill Evans on again
You must believe in spring


Now I′m staring out the window at the rain
Been in this city for a year and every day I feel the same
Like if I stay here for just one more day
I'll be sleeping when my spirit slips away
Like some cloud of smoke and rain
Like two overpassing trains
Like a smile on a lonesome face
