LYRICS
Yellow skies, I can see the yellow skies
See you again, I see you again
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams
Morning light, I remember the morning li-i-i-i-ight
Outside my door (outside my door), I’ll see you no more (see you no more)
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams
Forever, forever I’ll be forever holding you-u-u
Forever, forever I’ll be forever holding you
Responsible, responsible, responsible, responsible aw aw aw
Black and white, it’s become so black and whi-i-i-i-ite
So insecure, you’re so insecure
That’s what you are, that’s what you are
That’s what you are, that’s what you are
Forever, forever I’ll be forever holding you-u-u
Forever, forever I’ll be forever holding you
Responsible, responsible, responsible, responsible aw aw aw
a-aw a-aw, a-aw a-aw, a-aw a-aw
Forever, forever I’ll be forever holding you-u-u
Forever, forever I’ll be forever holding you
Responsible, responsible, responsible, responsible aw aw aw

NOTES
- In concert Dolores sometimes introduced the song telling it’s called “Yellow Skies”
- In 1996 the band opened some of their shows with this song just after “Intermission” was played as intro.
- The band was sued by a Dublin band, Blink, who claim that “Forever Yellow Skies” was to similar to a song they wrote entitled “It’s Not My Fault”
- According to England’s magazine NME “Blink’s manager took the two tracks to a musicologist in Surrey (England) who concluded that the songs were too close to have been coincidence” (mtv.com · 14 July 1996). A $15,000 agreement was reached over this case (mtv.com · 20 August 1996).
