Yellow light on the wall

I can close my eyes and return

To the home I remember in a blur

Of sights and smells

And sounds of old

But it's not what I wanted to hold

When I learned that I would have something of my own

What is love if not violet

A beam of light on an autumn afternoon

That slowly fades to blue

I have always wanted you

When the summer goes long

When the water stays warm

I remember the faces of everyone I've loved

And the places I have lived

And the places I have visited

You're alive and I'm alive

You're a dream that I had when I was young

I'm alive and I'm okay

The air is light blue today

The air is light blue today

The air is light blue today

The air is light blue today

The air is light blue today

I want a place where I can stay warm

Deep inside my body of this earth

And a mouth that says soft things

Or just breathes in my ear

And a heart I can speak back to

For no one else to hear
