In the Blue Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was on a train Somewhere in Spain Sometime in the night I drew up my knees In second class And watched in the blue light [Verse 2] Strangers beside me Strangers across from me They've closed their eyes So far away from home The empty stations echo As we go dreaming by [Chorus] I miss you like crazy I wish that you were here Holding me [Verse 3] So many times I see something I wanna show you Like the crazy man Crying on his violin I, I gave him two drachmas for you [Verse 4] And every city square Pigeons everywhere Fountains and painters I sit upon the steps My chin upon my knees I must have watched millions of lovers go by [Chorus] I miss you like crazy I wish that you were here Holding me [Post-Chorus] 'Cause you give me peace You give me hope I love you [Verse 5] Of course—there are other men Sharing in the sways and bends Of Paris and Rome And though I do not know Exactly what the difference is I never asked them home [Verse 6] It made me realize How beautiful and strange Is the bird of love Flies so differently Cries so differently From the bird of whatever the other [Chorus] I miss you like crazy I wish that you were here Holding me [Post-Chorus] 'Cause you give me peace You give me hope I love you Do I give you something too? [Verse 1] I was on a train Somewhere in Spain Sometime in the night I drew up my knees In second class And watched in the blue light In the blue light In the blue light In the blue light
