Rusty and blue
How can a sweep these words into a clusterPut them in a pile like feathers on the floorVoyages and sea forests..deep blue and rustySew ém in a satchel, `n leave ém at your doorPeople lives, people lives, they fascinate meAll my life, all my life I wanted to understandThere´s a man on the corner with the moon in his eyesHe just comes here to visit and he wears a disguiseWonder if he´s looking for friends or for the truthI think he´s calling for some in that telephone boothAnd the smiling woman answers, she defeats fear with her eyesShe thinks life´s fine so of course I think she´s wiseAnd my heart wants to give her a gift that´s so grandThat it will speak for me and say just where I standI stand on a pillar, i´ts melting like iceOf years that I´ve lived and some I´ve lived twiceAnd I have all these feathers and leaves on my floorThat I don´t want just blowing around lose anymoreI feel a need to gather, to rummage and fetchTo shake out my life and give it a stretchTo bring shells to the surface and give them to youGifts from the sea floor, rusty and blueSongtexteThese two lives hold my attention quiete wellYou see lives almost never run parallelLike the boards in the flooring all deep grained and wornFated and fitted long before we were bornPeople lives, people lives, they fascinate meAll my life, all my life I wanted to understand"CPR"Edel Records 1998CPR "Live At The Wiltern"CPR Records 1998
