Alice Blue 02:48
She comes to me in all her finest finery Waiting for the birds to sing low And when they do She’ll paint it alice blue She walks alone in the mountain meadow Waiting for her lover to return And right on cue She’ll paint it alice blue And when she stops she goes And when she’s lost she knows That all she has to do Is paint it alice blue I come to you For your coat of alice blue

I’ll take on this world like a man With my shirt, my tie, my shoes, these hands My stoic goodbyes And I’ll get to work on my problems With my hammer, my nail, my bucket, this rain My disposition never to fail And when nothing is for sure And I shoulder all the blame It’s just how I feel And I don’t want you to feel this way I can teach you right from wrong But sometimes I feel why draw a map When all these names keep changing and new borders are being drawn And we can argue until we’re blue Draw a line in the sand but you know I’d rather be standing on the same side as you And when nothing is for sure And I shoulder all the blame It’s just how I feel And I don’t want you to feel this way I try to be composed But still the unforeseen shakes me up and down Spins me on its dizzying merry-go-round And I know I seem distracted I try to keep it to myself Because some things should never by anyone’s And when nothing is for sure And I shoulder all the blame It’s just how I feel And I don’t want you to feel this way

He tripped and fell And it broke her heart Bones as brittle as chalk That break with the dust Of every place They’ve ever been. You can only break So many times Before it all crumbles In one big sigh Whispering I’m sorry I think that was my one more try Joined together I won’t forget It’s now or never We’ll plunge the depths Colour Away the years We’ll do it frame by frame With nothing but our hands In red, yellow, blue You can paint it Whatever you want to We’ve cut and paste And we’ve mixed and matched And throughout all the years Held onto the scraps Now it’s time to glue All the pieces Into a river the deepest blue Joined together I won’t forget It’s now or never We’ll plunge the depths And see how deep it goes Lead us in the throes of something we never quite knew our own.
