Sky Blue and Black

You're the color of the sky
That's the way love is
But the moment has passed by me now
And no holding back, I'll see you through
Sky blue and black
You're the hidden cost
When I'd let go of your hand

Call my name and I'll be there
Call my name and I'll be there
And the Heavens were rolling
If you ever need holding
And just come through for you somehow
Sky
If I'd known that's what you needed
If you ever need holding
To have put away my pride

Of the seagulls circling the sand
I hear the sound of the world
And it'll never fold back

And no holding back, I'll see you through
Where the touch of the lover ends
And the thing that's lost in everything I do
Reflected in each store-front window pane
Sky blue and black
Or put aside what was true or untrue
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
Yeah, and I was much younger then
And our sky was unfolding
What you needed me to do
And I must have thought that I would know

That's the way love is
In the fragments of the songs
In the sunlight and the shadows
Carried down the wind from some radio

If you ever need holding
Of the promises we made
Where we played and the far too simple beauty
If you ever need holding

You're the whispering and the sighing

And I'd have fought the world for you
Where you gave me the world I was in
Ominous and low
If things were going to end
That's the way love is
And a struggle neither wins
The soul of the friend begins
Like a wheel on a track

And a place I could make a stand
Of my tires in the rain

In the murmuring of the city in the distance
I could never see how you doubted me
In the sound of the waves and the cries
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And the faces on the avenue
If I thought that you wanted me to
