Lavender Sky [Live at Festival International de Jazz de Montréal]

The trigger’s pulled
Long-distance goodbye
The trigger’s pulled
The word’s confessed
The trigger’s pulled
One last embrace
The trigger’s pulled

And the sun falls down from far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace
And the sun falls down from far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace

From a stranger to another, another
Lavender sky
Another

The pain’s scattered
And time’s wrapping its youthful promise

We’ve got new temples and prays
But the fears remain the same
Never feels any better

Silent motion through science and flares
But it gets older as we fade
Never as we fare

And the sun falls down from far, far distance
Through all we share
Until we all go down, down, down
Kneeling for grace

From a stranger to another, another
Lavender sky
Another

The trigger’s pulled
I’m drifting away
The trigger’s pulled
Without a trace
The trigger’s pulled
One last embrace

If truth is the sorrow we bare
If truth is the sorrow
We pull the trigger
With every step
We pull the trigger
With every step
We pull the trigger

We’re setting fire on a moment that matters
Illusions covering the bad from the worst
Reflecting motion, reflecting motion
From a stranger to another, the good like the worst
We’re pulling the trigger, we’re pulling the trigger
And it hurts like the truths we denied one another
To keep our faith in what doesn’t feel any better
