BLUE HEAVEN CALLS ME BACK AGAIN

I've got the sun in my eyes and the night in my heart
I am still waiting, still searching for God
I have this sad song, I can't put it down
Blue notes from heaven fall from my mouth

On the coast where waves of pity roar
We dance inside the moonlit fog
Our boats commanded away from shore
Waiting for the landslide, the mountains to fall

Crushed under the foot of God
I wait in vain for the song to come out
Blue notes stuck inside my throat
The sky can't see to pull them out

My anchor drags me to the sea
Wrapped around my tired feet
White quills push up from my skin
Blue heaven calls me back again

The earth has clipped our golden wings
We live to grow them back again
We find blue music on the wind
And follow it to shore

Waiting for our wings to grow
Where tidal waves of pity roar
We travel far enough from shore
With the white birds flying east

I breath in the tired fog
Crushed under the foot of God
Soft white feathers grow out from my heart
Touched by the sun and brushed by the dark.
