This Blue World - elbow

This blue world and her countless sisters

And all that came before that day

Our atoms straining to align

Was the universe in rehearsal for us

When all the world is sucking on its sleeve

You’ll hear an urgent morse in the gentle rain

And if you plot your course on the window pane

You’ll see the coldest star in the arms of the oldest tree

And you’ll know to come to me

In the back of a broken car

When the blizzard blossom flew

Reading aloud with our fingers

What we both already knew

And the blizzard blossom flew

A sober midnight wish

Flies over the roofs and down through the years

Would that you and yours are sleeping

Safe and warm in size formation

While three chambers of my heart beat true and strong with love for another

The fourth is yours forever
