Beautiful Blue - Blue Rodeo

How many times have you opened up this skull

With your delicate stone

And laughed while my blood splashes

Down to the ground

She drinks me up like a parched old bone

I curse you for the pain

And thank you for making me whole again

I am hopelessly

Shamelessly

Anointed with you

There’s no escaping

Your beautiful blue

The wind blows hot on my flesh

Scented with jasmine and roses

Ringing with bells

And the flutter of a hummingbird

You go to speak

But the wind blows away your words

And from your sweet mouth

So many beautiful colours swirl

Into your blood stained hands

A white eagle feather descends

And all creation sings

And I am remembering
