Baby Blues

You can hear the grass grow
And feel what the birds think
But you won't drink
What they give to you

Prettier than sunsets
Brighter than a revelation
You say it's just mild sedation
For your other life

Your cross protects you when it's dark
When you close your eyes
You think with your heart

You watch for the boredom
Steal a seat for your visitors
Seen through your eyes
You laugh if the phone rings

You drew it on the wall
The line goes down to the floor
Then fades away

Your cross protects you when it's dark
When you close your eyes
You think with your heart

Because youre prettier than sunsets
And brighter than a revelation
