We’ll Burn the Sky Lyrics

I'm in love with the sunshine
I'm in love with the falling rain
Everything seems to call your name
Yesterday you were leaving
Leaving life and all the pain
Everything wants you back again
Wants you back again
Wants you back again

I've found myself through you
And there was love in my life
I felt always naturally high
And my love had a home
But now my mind has started to roam
You're my life giving fire
And you carried all my love
Through you I was so inspired
You're engraved deep in my heart

My dreams recall us being one
I've searched for you to be free
My force of life you have always been
I feel blue since you've gone
Your breath of love surrounded me
When can I rejoin you to be free?
Rejoin you to be free
Rejoin you to be free

Wait, can this be a dream?
There is a voice in my head
It belongs to you, it says
Don't cry, no need to be sad
There's a way to stay with you again
It's more than you ever had
And no death brings us apart
Our timeless love always grows
Because you are in my other heart

I know we've never been apart
Your love sets fire to my heart
We'll burn the sky
When it's time for me to die
We'll burn the sky, oh yeah
We'll burn the sky, oh yeah
When it's time, time, time, we'll burn the sky
We'll burn the sky, oh yeah

This song bio is unreviewed

This song was written by Monika Danneman, she was the girlfriend of Jimi hendrix at the time of his death. He was found dead in her appartement in London. She wrote “We’ll Burn the Sky” as a tribute to him. Later in her life she dated Uli John Roth (Scorpions Guitarist at the time) and he turned it into a song. The two would end up being married.

Monika Danneman, age 50, was found dead in her vehicle due to monoxide poisoning near her cottage in Seaford, East Sussex. Her death was ruled a suicide. Uli Roth, however, publicly stated his opinion that her death had been the result of foul play. Roth dedicated later works to the memory of Dannemann.
