Blue - Emily Jane White

Blue, so blue was your love that I held and pursued

And true, so true, the black hand, oh it takes you back

And you turn to a figure in the light

No wait, but you turn back

And we danced in diamond dust

Oh yea, we danced in diamond dust

Oh black, oh black and blue — I was when I left you

A figment of the past, a battered highway

Cow skulls marking death

Baby’s breath and dried misery you left on my door

And we danced so hard that the cold, cold black rain fell

And the blood on the ground, on the ground, washed away

And your body was gone and it left no trace

But a trail of ash has led me to this dark place

Did you see in the way that she did run, run faster than anyone?

Away from the snake-eyed mule of a man

Yes you can, yes you can, yes you can

Yes you can, yes you can, yes you can

Blue, so blue, was your love that I held and pursued

And true, so true, the black hand, oh it takes you back
