lyrics
Blue Like Yours
I came for
what you came for
my eyes blue like the sky
my heart blue like yours
show me your sleep
I’ll show you mine
garbled words in the night
as you work through your fires
sweet as rain
on our old roof
you’re only finer now
as your dreams find you
you are my sweetness
down to the sour taste of you
you are my saltpan
I’ll lick the bitter waste of you
cos I came for
what you came for
my eyes blue like the sky
my heart blue like yours
I came for
what you came for
my eyes blue like the sky
my heart blue like yours
show me your sleep
I’ll show you mine
garbled words in the night
as you work through your fires
sweet as rain
on our old roof
you’re only finer now
as your dreams find you
you are my sweetness
down to the sour taste of you
you are my saltpan
I’ll lick the bitter waste of you
cos I came for
what you came for
my eyes blue like the sky
my heart blue like yours
