Broken Blue

Catch it when it comes Put it in your pocket Nothing till it's gone Kept but could not lock it Now all at once it's broken blue Welcome it when it comes home Cook it lots of stews Feed it feasts, red wine, violets, rouge All the things you used to do Tell the neighbors you've come home Really it's true O the wild parade That we planned for you There'll be fireworks and choirs But you must be tired You spread the finest bed Tuck it in say Tomorrow's gonna be a big day Then watch it drift away And all at once it's broken blue In an empty room Fate lies dusting off tables Whispering Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Someone's singing in the backyard Just wind blowing through Just wind blowing through
