Sky Blue and Black

In the calling out to one another
 Of the lovers up and down the strand
 In the sound of the waves and the cries
 Of the seagulls circling the sand
 In the fragments of the songs
 Carried down the wind from some radio
 In the murmuring of the city in the distance
 Ominous and low
 I hear the sound of a world where we played
 And the far too simple beauty
 Of the promises we made
 If you ever need holding
 Call my name and I'll be there
 If you ever need holding
 And no holding back, I'll see you through
 Sky blue and black
 ♪
 Where the touch of the lover ends
 And the soul of the friend begins
 There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
 And a struggle neither wins
 Where you gave me the world I was in
 And a place I could make a stand
 I could never see how you doubted me
 When I'd let go of your hand
 Yeah, and I was much younger then
 And I must have thought that I would know
 If things were gonna end
 And the heavens were rolling
 Like a wheel on a track
 And our sky was unfolding
 And it'll never fold back
 Sky blue and black

 And I'd have fought the world for you (I'd have fought the world for you)
 If I thought that you wanted me too (thought that you wanted me too)
 Or put aside what was true or untrue (true or untrue)
 If I'd known that's what you needed (if I'd known that's what you need)
 What you needed me to do
 But the moment has passed by me now
 To have put away my pride
 And just come through for you somehow
 If you ever need holding
 Call my name and I'll be there
 If you ever need holding
 And no holding back, I'll see you through (sky)
 You're the color of the sky
 Reflected in each store-front window pane
 You're the whispering and the sighing
 Of my tires in the rain
 You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost
 In everything I do
 Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
 In the sunlight and the shadows
 And the faces on the avenue
 That's the way love is
 That's the way love is
 That's the way love is
 Sky, sky blue and black
