lyrics

Hear the blue note
Over the radio
It’s a sound that’s familiar
Trane is playing ‘Love Supreme’ on the saxophone

Feel the Western wind
Blowing through your hair again
A little spider spins
Yeah, she is zeroing in on what has been exposed

I had to get out of this town and its cruel illusions
I had to take care of myself and these crude conclusions
First, we drink then we sing, then we dance, then we fight, then we cry
They say it’s a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye

What was it in that room that I fell into?
The ruby silhouette, or the Persian patterned dress or the paper moon?
Five Sketches of Spain
Five movements through pain
There’s a fragile delay when the bell ring far away in the altitude

I had to get out of this town with its cruel illusions
I had to take care of myself and these crude conclusions
Left with the bitter taste and the razor of surprise
First, we drank then we sang, then we danced, then we laughed, then we cried

Feel the blue note
I hear it coming from the radio
That’s Trane that’s playing on the saxophone
It’s cuttin’ through me right to the bone

Oh, I feel the Western wind
I see it blowing through your hair again
Curls in the corners like a spider web
This kind of love is never meant to end

I’ll watch the sunflowers bloom in your eyes
I’ll watch the sunflowers bloom in your smile
I’ll watch the sunflowers bloomin’ in the blue lit sky
