lyrics

Let me stay hanging up in the sky,
I don’t have any place to land,
Just to float there suspended in time,
Like a bird on the strong wind’s hand,
All my horizons would soften and curve,
And the fears would fall behind,
Ears unable to hear any cry,
For the roar of the wind rushing by

Lost in a dream and gone again

Take me back to how it was,
I can not suffer the change,
The vertigo of freedom found,
Had me missing my old chains,
The ones I tried so hard to shed,
Were they really worth their wait?
Shackles and walls keep you slow and small,
But at least your path is narrow and straight,

Lost in a dream and gone again,

Do you recall how it was,
Do you recall how it was,
Do you recall how it was,

Take me back to how it was,
Take me back to how it was,
Take me back to how it was,
Take me back to how it was.

about

Miles Calder Wellington, New Zealand

Singer/songwriter Miles Calder delivers cutting lyrics with an expressive voice. A few years since the last outings with former backing band The Rumours, Miles has emerged with a revived sound, fresh songs and a new band.
