Gary Louris True Blue

 

 

 

True Blue

Rusty wire
Bent to make a fence
Rows and rows of houses
Cold and still, until tomorrow

Western waters
Coloured by their stones
Some ungrateful morning
Keep the sand
Stir up the powder

Strip it down
To what, you can believe in
Pass it on
What is right and True Blue, True Blue

Today’s the day
My branches bear their fruit
And all my labour will be rewarded
Then I awake
It’s like starting over.

Witches and their thorns
Rumble where they lay
Revealing sparkling secrets
To hold you would bring happiness
Your absence sorrow.

Strip it down
To what you can rescue
Pass it on
What is right and True Blue, True Blue

Shifting stations and shapes
Giving up ground now
Taking another’s place
Holding ones own
As if you were just born

Find a way
Feel without a trace
Feel fulfilment in this small corner
With no possessions, to create sorrow

Strip it down
To what, you can believe in
Pass it on
What is right and True Blue, True Blue
True Blue, True Blue.

(Not sure if these are exactly the right words)
