Adonis Blue

I'll give myself a vision
Of a boy for this one girl
He can be the colors of a paintbox set
In a black and white world

He'll be a bit of everything
Be the silver in the clouds
Be a whisper silent as a kiss
Or a scream that's just as loud
I know he can be found

Adonis blue, Adonis blue
Sad like me but he's always smiling
You can't find me, I can't find you
You're tried and true it's only you Adonis blue

He'll be the stroke of midnight
Or the mornings faithful rise
Be the music buried in the garden
Of a church like the loveliest surprise

I heard there isn't anyone
That the breed has long been gone
I still not sure that I'm convinced
Gonna try to prove them wrong
Gonna look and look and look hard and long

Adonis blue, Adonis blue
Sad like me but he's always smiling
You can't fool me, I can't fool you
You're tried and true it's only you Adonis blue

Wish upon a star, pull the petals from a flower
Make a special wish when the clock strikes certain hours
Blow out the candles on the cake
Pitch the pennies in the fountain

God speed him to me
I promise I'll be good
I'll be waiting by the window
I'll be sitting in the dark
He's just gotta be there
'Cause I've looked so very hard

Adonis blue I've looked so very hard
Can't find me, I can't find you
You're tried and true it's only you Adonis blue

Adonis blue he's a boy come true
He's a little bit of him, a little of you
Cherub face with those dug in heels
He's everything I mean, he's everything I feel

Rag doll singing in the slippery city rain
Plugging in my circuits, dancing in my brain
Adonis blue he's a boy divine
Gonna to try to find him, gonna make him mine

Can't find me, I can't find you
You're tried and true
If I only knew Adonis blue

I'll give myself a vision
