lyrics

Like a black horse turns blue
In sunlight’s
Uncertain shuffle
Melancholy comes
And goes

The thought of love
And its losing
The woes of paucity
Corruption and crumbling

No matter how intense the azure
Orange or pink thoughts
Fill the sky
By day’s end
And the ocean’s blue
Turns clear or green
With the eyes’ minor adjustment

But what would we be
Without a color to mirror
Our doleful souls?

Every heart knows sorrow
And every eye starts blue

The world changes
Bluejays fly away
And bluebells last but a season
Sad songs speak to us less
At one time than another

But like the indigo mountains
That are always in the distance
We are surrounded by heartache
Our blood looks blue
Through human skin

And though the red of anger
The orange of contentment
The yellow of celebration
The green of envy
Fill our sightline

The rainbow will always contain
A sliver of sadness
Of sapphire
