[Verse]
When I'm in my room
When I'm howling at the moon
I don't know what to do
My body feels torn in 2
Darkness conquers my mind
And I feel so petrified
When I hear that key in the door
And I get above the floor

[Chorus]
You're my skylight
When I'm around you I feel so bright and you
Open me up to your world
You're my skylight
You put me through to the other side
And I'm flying to heaven

[Verse]
When I'm crashing down
And I can't pick up the pieces I
Drive across town
Getting where the familiar turns and
Feel like a soldier
Fighting something I can't name
Call you up to ask if you ever feel the same

[Chorus]
You're my skylight
When I'm around you I feel so bright and you
Open me up to your world
You're my skylight
You put me through to the other side
And I'm flying to heaven

[Bridge]
I cannot hide from you
You've got the perfect view
I wish that I could see
What you do
I cannot hide from you
You've got the perfect view

[Chorus]
From your skylight
When I'm around you I feel so bright and you
Open me up to your world
You're my skylight
Wake me through to the other side
And I'm floating to heaven

Heaven x2
Skylight x4

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
