lyrics

I've never
never seen a bluer blue
The night time is bluer than I ever knew
and gentle, cradling the moon

The starlight is moving and so am I
It ripples in circles and rolls with the tide
out to sea
out to sea
Borrowing faces of people it loves
The mirrors of dark and the white of the doves
Oh the breeze
Oh the breeze

Whenever birds are flying overhead
my heart cries wishing it was me instead
then quiets like a child in bed

In dreams I am soaring through space and through time
The clocks that surround me are starting to rhyme
with the sea
with the sea
I'm lucid, I'm hopeful, I'm starting to rust
The rain clouds are turning me back into dust
Oh the breeze
Oh the breeze

I've never
never seen a bluer blue
The night time is bluer than I ever knew
And gentle, cradling the moon
