about
A modern folk song about an old subject
lyrics
In between the rain and the thoughts of you,
Under leaden skies the sun peeped through
And flying swiftly into view
A fleeting glimpse of Halcyon Blue.
With your sense of purpose, your sense of style
I kept you distracted just for a while
The stain on my skin an unwanted tatoo
Fading so swiftly, Halcyon Blue
You tell me you seldon wake before noon
But my body sings to a different tune
Down on the Meads at dawn'e early hue
Searching again for Halcyon Blue
Picked up the papers, the news is all bad
And I can't shake the feeling that we've all been had
You've got what you wanted now what will you do
To bring that bright future of Halcyon Blue?
I wake you with cofee and the newspaper
We fight and we love and we laugh about it later
Though we're both hurting I've fallen for you
My fleeting glimpse of Halcyon Blue
In between the rain and the thoughts of you,
Under leaden skies the sun peeped through
And flying swiftly into view
A fleeting glimpse of Halcyon Blue.
