Under a Foreign Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The Irish rain taps on my pane, A tune so cold, it hums my pain. Cape Town sun, oh how it burned, The warmth of home, for which I yearn. [Prechorus] But the stars here—they don’t align, They whisper truths that aren’t mine. [Chorus] Under a foreign sky, I sigh, Counting constellations that lie. My heart beats slow, it won’t comply, I don’t want to stay, I don’t want to die, Under a foreign sky. [Verse 2] The kettle boils, it’s quiet here, No laughter, no voices near. Back home, the children wait and grow, Their lives a story I barely know. [Prechorus] But the moon here—it hides its glow, A stranger’s light I don’t want to know. [Chorus] Under a foreign sky, I sigh, Counting constellations that lie. My heart beats slow, it won’t comply, I don’t want to stay, I don’t want to die, Under a foreign sky.
