Jimmy McCarthy - Bright Blue Rose Lyrics
I skimmed across black water, without once submergingOnto the banks of an urban morningThat hungers the first light, much much moreThan mountains ever do.And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphinAnd emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmedFor she is the perfect creature, natural in every featureAnd I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.ChorusFor all of you who must discover,For all who seek to understand,For having left the path of othersYou find a very special hand.And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious timeAnd it is the only wayForget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goesTo ponder his death and his life eternally.ChorusFor all of you who must discoverFor all who seek to understand,For having left the path of othersYou find a very special hand.And it is a holy thingAnd it is the only wayForget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goesTo ponder his death and his life eternally.One bright blue rose outlives all thoseTwo thousand years and still it goesTo ponder his death and his life eternally.
