Jackson Browne - Sky Blue And Black lyrics

Album: Best Of-Next Voice You Hear (1997)

In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up & down the strand
In the sound of the waves & 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 & low

I hear the sound of the world where we played
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made

If you ever need holding
Call my name, I will be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I will see you through
Sky blue & black

Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
Theres a need to be separate & 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 would let go of your hand

Yea, & I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I´d know
If things were gonna end

And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And it will never fold back
Sky blue & black

And I would´ve fought the world for you
If I thought that you wanted me to
Or put aside what was true or untrue
If I would known that is what you needed
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, I will be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I will see you through

You are the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
You are the whispering & the sighing
Of my tires in the rain
You are the hidden cost & the thing that is lost
In everything I do
Yea & I will never stop looking for you
In the sunlight & the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
That is the way love´s
That is the way love´s
That is the way love´s
Sky blue & black
