lyrics

ONE FOOT BLUE

Can you hear me, over there
The roof-top looms just like it’s Everest
Did the storm wake you too
Your eyes are open, but you don’t move

Can you hear me, through the rain
Put that needle in the groove and start again
If I sleep now, I’ll never wake
Watch the sunrise through my veins

The only way I could be with you is if I give back everything
There’s a war to be won if I could justgive up giving in
Can you hear me call your name
Can you see me fade away
And the sky above me shatters like a shell
That we found on the beach
In the place where we meet

You are noble to the bone
You’d never leave me here to rot alone
As the sun rolls through the years
Hungry seasons reappear
They are savage, old and wild
Come to sing the last post to a dying fire
In the sand a lonely shoe
One foot’s broken, one foot’s blue

A shadow on the sand
I’ll hold the sea with my hand
And the sun blinks into your eyes
As you rise like a phoenix to the beat
Of the seven waves that never let me sleep
