Light Blue - Will Stratton
I remember you
Light blue
Those were the years when I was just passing through
When I didn't care and my back was turned
Resignation that I hadn't earned
I've got this tear in me since I don't know when
Don't let it out don't ask me how
But can you tell me why 'cause I need to know
Why it kills the young and it melts the snow
And why I can't see it's face
As it crawls back up the hill
Where it's feet leave no trace
Asleep for months getting it's fill
I have heard of you dark green
All the knowledge that I've never seen
Draped in front of me like a lucky chance
To change your clothes before the dance
You've got this glow in you can you show me how
To give up less than they allow
Or is it set in mud
That you can't get off
No matter how you shout and cough
And as your voice echoes high
Will it find the room it needs
To know that nothing is a shame
Not the fruit
And not the seeds
