Jackson Browne - Sky Blue And Black Lyrics
In the calling out to one anotherOf the lovers up and down the strandIn the sound of the waves and the criesOf the seagulls circling the sandIn the fragments of the songsCarried down the wind from some radioIn the murmuring of the city in the distanceOminous and lowI hear the sound of the world where we playedAnd the far too simple beautyOf the promises we madeIf you ever need holdingCall my name, I'll be thereIf you ever need holdingAnd no holding back, I'll see you throughSky blue and blackWhere the touch of the lover endsAnd the soul of the friend beginsThere's a need to be separate and a need to be oneAnd a struggle neither winsWhere you gave me the world I was inAnd a place I could make a standI could never see how you doubted meWhen I'd let go of your handYeah, and I was much younger thenAnd I must have thought that I would knowIf things were going to endAnd the heavens were rollingLike a wheel on a trackAnd our sky was unfoldingAnd it'll never fold backSky blue and blackAnd I'd have fought the world for youIf I thought that you wanted me toOr put aside what was true or untrueIf I'd known that's what you neededWhat you needed me to doBut the moment has passed by me nowTo have put away my prideAnd just come through for you somehowIf you ever need holdingCall my name, I'll be thereIf you ever need holdingAnd no holding back, I'll see you throughYou're the color of the skyReflected in each store-front window paneYou're the whispering and the sighingOf my tires in the rain-acapo
