In The Blue Light Lyrics - Singles - Jane Siberry

I was on a train somewhere in Spain 

Sometime in the night 

I drew up my knees in second class 

And watched in the blue light 

Strangers beside me, strangers across from me 

They've closed their eyes 

So far away from home the empty stations echo 

As we go dreaming by 

I miss you like crazy 

I wish that you were here holding me 

So many times I see something 

I want to show you 

Like the crazy man crying on his violin 

I game him two drachmas for you 

And every city square, pigeons everywhere 

Fountains and painters 

I sit upon the step my chin upon my knees 

I watch lovers go by 

I miss you like crazy 

I wish that you were here holding me 

Because you give me peace, you give me hope I love you 

Of course there are other men 

Sharing in the sways and bends 

Of Paris and Rome and though I do not know 

Exactly what the difference is 

I never asked them home 

It made me realize how beautiful and strange 

Is the bird of love 

It flies so differently, cries so differently 

From the bird of whatever the other 

I miss you like crazy 

I wish that you were here holding me 

Because you give me peace, you give me hope I love you 

Do I give you something too 

I was on a train somewhere in Spain 

Sometime in the night 

I drew up my knees in second class 

And watched in the blue light
