Elbow - Powder Blue lyrics

rate me

Your eyes are just like black spiders

Your hair and dress in ribbons. Babycakes

In despair or incoherent. Nothing in between

China white, my bride tonight

Smiling on the tiles

Bring that minute back

We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins

I share it all with you

Powder blue

Stumble through the crowds together

They're trying to ignore us. That's o.k.

I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin

Sallow skinned, starry eyed, blessed

In our sin

Bring that minute back

We never get so close to death

Makes you so alive

I share it all with you

Powder blue
