Elinor Blue

April March

Compositor: Elinor Blake, Tony Allen, Mehdi Zannad

Hear the world, the world is blue
Colorshot through and through
Hear the birds ring around, they make the color sound
Singing out a mystery, without home or history
While they fly down the sky, confessing it on high

Over every country
Over every highway
Over every compton
And every sea

Daddy died when I was a child
How could I know a mercy mile?
But mama tried, she told me when I cried
To sail it like a victory, ready about heartily
Teardrops would hollow me out, a tunnel leading

To another country
Down another highway
Through another compton
Into a sea
Of smiling faces
Rolling hips and races
Everybody dancing
Confessing blues

Another country
Another highway
Another compton
Another sea
Of smiling faces
Nobody waiting
Everybody dancing
Into the blue
