Words and music by Roddy Frame



When day has lost its dark

When shadows cease to fall

I wish and wonder

You walk into the room

The air is turning blue

I'm turning to you

And all my time

Is open wide



Chorus:

And you, you say you'll do one thing

And then you do two things

Smile and the birds sing and everything

And you, you're painting the sky blue

Growing the grass green

Sending the sea crazy



You sway and my head swims

You swam onto my shore

Closed your fingers

Smiled and blew

And shone your heart

And my heart flew

And fell for eyes that shone

They close and I'm all gone

And you've left here



I'm burning blue

For someone who

Flew too near



Chorus



Closed your fingers

Smiled and blew

And shone your heart

And my heart flew

You say you'll do one thing

And then you do two things

Smile and the birds sing

It's crazy
