Buttermilk Sky Lyrics by Sue Clayton

Rookie

2023

[Verse 1]
He gave me turquoise and pearls
That's how he showed I was enough
I didn't know when I was happy
But I knew when I was not
I was confession for his sins
His favourite bow-tie that clips on
I wish I'd realized now and then
I could be loud and still be loved
[Chorus]
And they ask us why we stay here
And I don't know what to say
True love isn't just a man
And It isn't just a place
It's a hill we'd like to live on
Yeah, of course we'd like to die
So tonight let's just get lost inside this buttermilk sky
[Verse 2]
As I tried to grow to hold him
(To hold him)
My phantom limbs grew numb
(I grew numb)
Hе was the center of my world
My world was right undеr his thumb
Maybe I could leave Los Angeles
But he decided to stay
I bought faded wilting lilies
From my favourite stranger on the P.C.H
[Chorus]
And they ask me why I stay here
I don't know what to say
True love isn't just my man
And It isn't just a place
It's a hill I'd like to live on
And yeah, of course I'd like to die
And tonight let's just get lost inside this buttermilk sky
This buttermilk sky
[Outro]
I will bless you and then I'll let it rest
I will bless you and then I'll let it rest
I will bless you and then I'll fuckin' let it rest
I will bless you and then I'll let it rest
I will bless you and then I'll let it rest
I will bless you, then I'll let it rest
