The Second Hand Don’t Care Words and Music By Karl Sky Copyright 2020 Karl Sky / BMI I had a dream a long long time ago I think I requested to be the master of this show The kodachrome vision faded to some sepia tone selections that I had made altered every single goal Chorus Its obscene the Second Hand It Don’t Care I tried to turn back time and it forced me here nowhere Instant decisions sliced my soul in two Now those wishes that I yearned for, they accuse Fast forward through living, your memories simplify Your hearts in remission, wishing wonder filled your eyes Chorus to end I had a dream a long long time ago….

Words and Music By Karl Sky / Original Copyright 2001 Karl Sky / BMI Frozen child of winter can you see the golden sun? Do you feel the tropic breeze that’s kissed the pines? Well I know you’re tired of waiting for a new day to begin and patience is a virtue you’ve declined. Refrain: Your hope is like a candle whose wick is at the bottom and the words of the closest few don’t quite console I’m just reminding you, I’m Always Here You Know Time it seems, has pushed you tight against a wall of sorrow The seconds turns to minutes then to days Well I’ve put myself within your shoes to see your point of reason now here I am at loss for words to say 2nd Refrain: I stretch my hand for you to hold it’s such a simple gesture a common courtesy for you to oblige I’m just reminding you, I’m Always Here You Know (Repeat verse one/two then 1st refrain)

For These Times / Martina McBride Cover by Allison Sky / Karl Sky

Words and Music By Karl Sky Copyright 2001 Karl Sky / BMI Sunday afternoon, and I'm sittin on my bedroom floor the sunlight's warm upon my skin It must be 10 below, cause the frost has etched my windowpane into a flower of distant spring Chorus: Sometimes I cry when nature reveals all of its secrets that it keeps concealed An angel of love right out of the blue caressed my emotions after all I'd been through I'm Gettin By As darkness settles in and stretches cross the snowy plain the old dog's barkin at the wind I turn the porchlight on and latch the deadbolt for the night only hoping that the phone might ring Chorus

If You Want To Sing Out Sing Out by Cat Stevens

Words and Music by Karl Sky Production: Karl Sky This present moment so surreal You’re wondering how you’re supposed to feel You’re grabbing daylight while you can But twilight’s messing with your plans Chorus: Can you remember Feeling better? And Will You Ever Feel As Good As You Did Today? There’s magic rollin on the breeze The tune seduces with its tease Trapped in a paradigm I’m sure Cherish this joy that’s so obscure Chorus (2X) You’re swaying to some mystic dance The crowds they shuffle zombie tranced What was, was then, and now, it’s clear This groove you found, it masks all fears Chorus (2X)

Sky Band 2019 My daughter and I formed a group, just the two of us back in 2019 called Sky Band. It was short lived due to world changing events the following spring of 2020, but looking back it was a very special time with some very special harmonies goin down. I think between my daughter and I we could both agree that whenever we would sing together.. the music would always be "Killin the Blues". Enjoy. Karl

Wanderin Fools Copyright 2020 Karl Sky/BMI Words and Music By Karl Sky Production: Karl Sky I’m tired of tryin to make you happy I’m tired of tryin to tow the line It’s gettin old, gettin sucker punched while others smile and pay no mind You’re weary wishin life be easy You’re weary praying I’d hear you out If yesterday is all we had Let’s navigate a brand new route Chorus: We’re just two restless Wanderin Fools Searching for the rainbows in our minds We’ve got a one track mind with a tune Tryin to sing it one day at a time I’m tired of praying for some sunshine You’re shivering, shaking in the rain The snow can weigh on me so heavy You’re probably sad cause I complain Let’s disconnect from all the chatter disengage from what we’re told We’ll follow roads to greener pastures before our souls have grown too old Chorus Solo Chorus

Through The Lies Copyright 2020 Karl Sky /BMI Words and Music By Karl Sky Production: Karl Sky I don’t know how I got here I can’t find the door that lured me in In fact my head is spinnin and my appetite is gone Could be in some kitchen or a basement bedroom down the hall either way the shade is drawn and I’m itching to get out Chorus: Intoxicated Mesmerized Complacent I fell into your charms at your delight Forgot to watch my pockets you robbed me of my solace my conscience cleaned of all I had in mind yeah the devil only wears a thin disguise entertained the dance but saw right Through The Lies Feelin like a week long bender glad I didn’t take the time to send her any roses or some discount “miss you” card Blurry done gone is my focus hexed me with some hocus pocus how can I think straight to smile or laugh again Chorus Solo Chorus I don’t know how I got here I can’t find the door that lured me in In fact my head is spinnin and my appetite is gone

SEASIDE Copyright 2020 Karl Sky/BMI Words and Music By Karl Sky Production: Karl Sky LYRICS: Seaside makeshift castles in the sand seashells tell their stories in your hand whispering waves will rock your soul to sleep dreamlike sunlight comforting your feet CHORUS: Well it’s all too real is it really happening? So I pinched myself just to make sure Yesterdays’ old memories today don’t sour me I do believe this is the sweetest place on earth Gentle clouds paint faces in the sky distant sail boats dancing fore’ your eyes breezes touch, caress your restless soul when sunset comes the stars provide a toast CHORUS Firelight lingers embers turn to dust friends they spill their secrets to your trust one last sip will turn your eyelids week in a blink, sunrise wakes you on the beach CHORUS

Love Of My Life Copyright 2000 Captain Kidd Music /BMI Words and Music By Karl Sky Production: Karl Sky It was the dead of the winter when you first touched your hand to mine blistering cold had made us shiver until that first kiss had warmed the emptiness inside It was a spring that I remember within the first few days of March and with our firstborn sons’ arrival a vacancy was filled we never knew or marked Chorus: It’s the song of the cicada It’s the scent of the spring it’s the touch of snow falling every time we meet again it wont feel right when your gone it’d be like the setting sun that is hidden neath a layer of gray skies You’re the Love of My Life Children dancing cross the prairie it was the summer of our lives one by one they grew older now her and I are all alone where do we start? Chorus The cool crisp breeze of autumn yellow I put the coffee on to warm myself younger memories of young lovers will they fade away to dust it’s hard to tell Chorus

Theres a storm a brewin It's the same old stuff as yesterday Hey bewildered parents Can you embrace your tune today? Don't you reminisce About a simpler bliss Thats all erased?

Keep Runnin Copyright 2019 Karl Sky/BMI Words and Music By Karl Sky Production: Karl Sky A simple revelation creeping back again remembering every syllable, those words she said How could my dreams have gone so wrong? Long time ago, I made some plans to escape a situation created in my heads’ landscape Now I see the forest for the trees. Bridge: I think I just might put her words to action I think I understand the gist of what she said. There comes a time when you realize your passion Has blown away like the history in the wind. Chorus: She told me Keep Runnin It’s mind numbing You better get yourself outta here Keep Runnin start thumbing You gotta get yourself outta here “You’re too sophisticated to be here” You’ll only drive yourself insane on beer Not much else to do when winter comes “Same old chit chat in this makeshift town” Lack of conversation gonna bring you down Highlight of your day’s feeding birds Bridge Chorus Solo Reality will come around you’ll understand You’ll realize the sands of time can shift your plans You know there’s so much more for you Chorus

Life Will Begin Copyright 2019 Karl Sky Music /BMI Words and Music by Karl Sky Production: Karl Sky She works her hands within the clay to shape a cup for rainy days to fill with wine to wash away all that has been wrong today He takes some wood and carves a bowl a razored edge, that soothes his soul and what remains is what contains his story Chorus: We’re travelin a road that isn't paved hitchin a ride to far away the hum is reeling us in, reeling us in We know that Life Will Begin We’re takin the time to touch the world laughing at wisdoms’ words absurd the song is reeling us in, reeling us in We know that Life Will Begin She walks the edge and softly steps where men of old had boldly tread succumbed to death and if you’re silent you can hear them crying Chorus: We’re travelin a road that isn't paved hitchin a ride to far away the hum is reeling us in, reeling us in We know that Life Will Begin We’re taking the time to mend our ways just playing some songs we never played the rhythms’ reeling us in, reeling us in We know that Life Will Begin
