Television Blue - Andy Shauf

Up to the surface

Cold and blue

I look over at her

Sweater on

Suntan glowing

She says «maybe we should go»

And I nod my head

Feeling the rain in my hair

Wind picks up

Throws me a towel

Up the stairs

My feet wet

Fluorescent lights

Suntan glowing

She says «I'm glad we did this»

And I nod my head

Feeling the rain in her hair

Television blue ‘til three in the morning

Was she talking to me?

Eyes wide open

Pitch dark

Unsure of what to do

I nod my head

Dreaming of rain in my hair

Judy takes a sip

Says «I remember we stole bug spray

Out of money

Blue motel

You told me to go to hell»

I nod my head

«But remember the rain in your hair?»
