"When I Look to the Sky" is a
song by the American rock band Train, for their third studio album My Private
Nation.
Train is an American pop rock band from San Francisco, California, formed
in 1994. The band currently comprises a core trio of Patrick Monahan (vocals),
Jimmy Stafford (guitar, vocals) and Scott Underwood (drums, percussion).
Train, with a line-up that included
original members Rob Hotchkiss and Charlie Colin, as well as Monahan, Stafford and Underwood,
achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Train, which was released
in 1998 with the hit "Meet Virginia". Their second album, Drops of
Jupiter (2001), brought the band massive popularity. The lead single from the
album, "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)", was an international hit and won
two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band's best-selling album to date.
Their third studio album, My Private
Nation, released in 2003, continued the band's success, and was certified
platinum in the United
States with the hit
"Calling All Angels". Following the departures of Hotchkiss and
Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It's You in 2006, with
Johnny Colt on bass and Brandon Bush on keys. Despite a generally positive
reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Train then went
on a three-year hiatus.
When I Look To The Sky
When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would
always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink
our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't
seem to let me go
Cause when I look to the sky something
tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something
tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are
here
And every word I didn't say caught up in
some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we
didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap
them all up in a kiss
Pick you up in all of this when I sail away
And while I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope
will never leave
Cause when I look to the sky something
tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something
tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way
Whether I am up or down or in or out or
just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it's impossible
to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may
send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that
will ever know me
here you are to show me
When I look to the sky something tells me
you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something
tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are
here
When I look to the sky something tells me
you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are
here
And when I feel like I'm lost something
tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are
here
