Blue as the Rain

You reached out for me, bright as the sky
I can hear you in the near distance
Calling my name, calling me home
I almost can feel your hands on my face, freezing
When I’m blue as the rain
Looking for you, looking for you

À mon père, à Laura, et aux amis qu’il me reste
À Tanger aussi, et à ses parfums qui me manquent
For every lover standing, waiting for a sign
Waiting for someone to hold onto

Somewhere down the road
I have lost my innocence
Somewhere down the road
You let me down, confused and broken
Somewhere down the road
I prayed for a vision to get my sorrows over with
Lilies in my hands

You’re still in my head
You’re still in my head
You’re still in my head
You’re still in my head
Whenever I kneel down

I’m blue as the rain and bright as the sky
I wish you could stay for just another night
Just close enough to see
The shape of the wind
The waves, the tides
The lights of your reflection

You reached out for me
Bright as the sky, I can hear you in the near distance
Calling my name, calling me home
I can almost feel the sun at my feet
Blazing once again

Somewhere down the road
I have lost my innocence
Somewhere down the road
We’re all dreamers waiting for a safe haven
Somewhere down the road
We’re all waiting for some shiny silhouettes
Somewhere down

You’re still in my head
You’re still in my head
You’re still in my head
You’re still in my head
Whenever I kneel down

I’m blue as the rain and bright as the sky
I wish you could stay for just another night
Just close enough to see
The shape of the wind
The waves, the tides
The lights of your reflection

(somewhere down the ocean)
(somewhere down the ocean)
You’re still in my head
(somewhere down the ocean)
I’m blue as the rain
(somewhere down the ocean)
You’re still in my head
You’re still in my head
My head

I’m blue as the rain, you’re bright as the sky
I wish you could stay for just another night
Just close enough to see
The colors of the wind
The waves, the tides

Shadows of our illusions
You’re bright as the sky
Shadows of our illusions

Shadows of our illusions
You’re bright as the sky
When I’m blue as the rain
Blue as the rain
