Big Sky
I'm gonna hurt you
Big Sky
You'll remember this
Big Sky
Up above the rain
How can I ever put a stop to it
Look you in the face again

Big Sky
I'll never let you go
Big Sky
Baby I told you so
Big Sky
Look at this swollen pride
I got so busy looking out for you
When were you by my side

When I'm breathin'
When I'm sleepin'
I can't think of nothing else
All my longing all my waiting
All the things you never felt

All my weeping all my wailing
All my standing on the shelf
How am I ever gonna get through this
Back to myself again?

Big Sky
I never knew you
Big Sky
Let me down again
Big Sky
I'm giving you the blame
How can I ever put a stop to this
Look you in the face again

Won't you say it isn't so?
Watch me fallin'
See me fallin'
I slip through the vortex of the sky
Darkness and light
Is what's inside
Darkness and light
It's what's inside

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
