lyrics

Her eyes were the color of the evergreens
Swallowed by the deep blue sea
She could dream without sleeping
Lie without speaking
She's all he sees

He's waking up to tangerines and violins
He's howling at the distant moon
He lives wihout knowing
Loves without showing
He's on his knees


Chorus:
Well I know where I'm goin'
An' I know where I've been
Blue sky tell me all I need to know

They make time to the rhythm of a Zulu drum
The wail of a saxophone
They're reaching out for the throws
They're steppin’ on toes
It's all they need

Soft-shoe routine across the tabletop
Shadow of a red balloon
She wanders outside
He follows in stride
So peacefully

Chorus

You can tell by her eyes that she's up and gone
She's living deep within the amazon
A washtub bass and a slide trombone,
She wanders on

A distant memory of a red balloon
Swallowed by a saxophone
She dreams without knowing
Lies without showing
She's all alone

Chorus
