Blue Is A River
Thomas Dolby

Blue remembers

Blue like a planet to a spaceman

Blue river of my tears

Like the heather on the hillside

As they drove us from the highlands

Like the iceflow from the Arctic

Where we landed in Newfoundland

There's a colour to my sorrow

There's a name for all this sadness

Like the ocean in between us,

I am blue.

Blue is a river

Blue remembers

Blue water running clear

Blue like a planet to a spaceman

Blue river of my tears

So I came here to the city

Where the dream burns like a furness

And I dazzled in these dark streets

Like a diamond in a coalface

Till the cold wind from the islands

Blew a storm cloud across the new moon

Like the gunsmoke above the houses

In my home.
