Guildford by Michael Day Music Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sittin’ under the blue sky
Watchin’ the clouds roll on by
The sun is beatin’ down on my dry skin

[Pre-Chorus]
My friend just turns and looks at me
Says ‘how’d you do this regularly?'
'I don’t think that I could survive'

[Verse 2]
Glazed blue eyes incognizant
As if this question made no sense
I scratch my brow a say ‘what do you mean?’

[Chorus]
He said ‘don’t you hear the planes go by?
Or see them pass through opal skies?
It won’t be long until they come again’

[Verse 3]
Walk barefoot and go outside
My toes, they meet the dew of night
The birds they sing in mornin' light to me
[Chorus]
But don’t you hear the planes go by?
Or see them pass through opal skies?
Won’t be long until they come again

Said don’t you hear the planes go by?
Or see them pass through opal skies?
It won’t be long until they come again

[Bridge]
6000 in a day
I say it won’t be me
But I can’t be so sure

[Chorus]
Don’t you hear the planes go by?
Or see them pass through opal skies?
Won’t be long until they come again

I said don’t you hear the planes go by?
Or see them pass through opal skies?
Won’t be long until they come again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Walk bare feet through Midland gate
The people smile, I hesitate
‘How are you?’ I hear them say
See empty cans and children’s faces
