Jane Siberry - In The Blue Light lyrics

rate me

I was on a train

Somewhere in Spain

Sometime in the night

I drew up my knees

In second class

And watched in the blue light

Strangers beside me

Strangers across from me

They've closed their eyes

So far away from home

The empty stations echo

As we go dreaming by

I miss you like crazy

I wish that you were here

Holding me

So many times

I see something

I want to show you

Like the crazy man

Crying on his violin

I game him two drachmas for you

And every city square

Pigeons everywhere

Fountains and painters

I sit upon the step

My chin upon my knees

I watch lovers go by

I miss you like crazy

I wish that you were here

Holding me

Because you give me peace

You give me hope

I love you

Of course--there are other men

Sharing in the sways and bends

Of Paris and Rome

And though I do not know

Exactly what the difference is

I never asked them home

It made me realize

How beautiful and strange

Is the bird of love

It flies so differently

Cries so differently

From the bird of whatever the other

I miss you like crazy

I wish that you were here

Holding me

Because you give me peace

You give me hope

I love you

Do I give you something too

I was on a train

Somewhere in Spain

Sometime in the night

I drew up my knees

In second class

And watched in the blue light
