Mandarin Sky
© 1997
Lyrics Kris Ralph
Music Kris Ralph/ Tony King


I had a dream big Mama was there
I was feeling low
Full of despair
She said don’t be afraid
It’s easy to see
Since I’ve been gone
you’ve been missing me
You have no need to fear

I’ll always be here
I’ll always be here

She had the bluest eyes
Full of sorrow and love
She held my heart
as if holding a dove
She said don’t be scared
You’re not alone
part of you must die
To become fully grown
Just have Faith

You will always be safe
You will always be safe

She come to me when I cry
She comes to me when my spirit is dry
She comes to me when I look
to the Mandarin Sky


She stood between the ocean and the land
Then disappeared as I held out my hand
I’ll grow gardenias and Forget-Me-nots too
To fill n the part of me that died with you
I’ll make it on my own

I know I’ll get By
I know I’ll get By

She come to me when I cry
She comes to me when my spirit won’t fly
She comes to me when I look
to the Mandarin Sky

about

Beautifully Mad image

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
