She is a sky dancer,
caught halfway between earth
and heaven.
caught halfway between earth
and heaven.
Swirl me some stars,
pour me a half-glass of hope.
Remind me that, while the view
on the ground is gloomy,
in the celestial realm,
spirits rain down
blessings on we benighted folk,
in the vain aspiration
we might catch some
of their heavenly fire
and dream a brighter dream.
Sky dancer,
pour me some truth,
and I will believe.
pour me a half-glass of hope.

I think the sky dancer is confused and is pouring non stop rain as well as hope down under Maybe you could have a word :)
