	Story Behind the Song Touch the Sky, funnily enough, is a song I wrote about my Mum. When I was young she had to go away and this song is about how I felt the day she left!! Now I am older I can understand why she had to go and I guess this song sort of sums up my coming to terms with the past. It was written in a day and the band use it as part of their demo. As for the recording side, we had two days to record three songs, and we used every minute we had. As for the vocals, just the one take. Lyrics TOUCH THE SKY Have you never tried to touch the sky When youre alone Have you never tried to reach for a place To call your own Have you never tried to fly to skies above You could never the way Like I do Cause I cant fly - without you I cant fly - I cant fly - without you When you walked away, you took my wings away And I cant fly You left me standing there - you didnt seem to care And I cant fly In the light of day, when I turned and found youd gone away I lay right down and I cried But if youve gone to make those dreams come true you know theres nothing left for me to say or do Deep down inside - the pain still burns Now my nights are cold And Im growing old - alone CHORUS Now I never try - to touch the sky When Im alone Now I never try to reach for a place To call my home Now I never try to fly - to skies above Cause my nights are cold And Im growing old Alone ©1999 Laura Wood
