Mexican Blue Lyrics - Jolie Holland

You're like a saint's song to me 

I'll try to sing it pure and easily 

You're like a Mexican blue 

So bright and clear and pale in the afternoon 

I saw you riding on your bike 

In a corduroy jacket in the night 

Past the hydrangeas that were blooming in the alley 

With a galloping dog by your side 

When I was hungry you fed me 

I don't mean to suggest that I'm like Jesus Christ 

Your light overwhelmed me 

When I lay beside you sleepless in the night 

And when you dreamed my guardian spirits appeared 

And the moon stretched out across your little bed 

They said they'd started to get worried about me 

They were happy we had finally met, we had finally met

A mysterious bird flies away 

Seemed to be calling your name 

And bounced off the top of a towering pine 

And vanished in the drizzling rain 

There's a mockingbird behind my house 

Who is a magician of the highest degree 

And I swear I heard him rip the world apart 

And sew it back again with his fiery melody, melody 

When you were mad at me I didn't care 

And I just loved you all the same 

And I waited for the wind to push the hurricane 

Out to sea, and the sun could shine again 

Oh, I don't mean to give you advice 

It's just like Delia said, "Oh, Jesus Christ" 

Just don't get so high you leave the ground 

Everything is so much better when you're around

Just don't float so high you drift away 

Stand tall, with your feet on the ground 

I love your songs, I love your sound 

Everything is so much better when you're around 

When the moon is as clear as an opal 

And the amethyst river sings a song 

I'll remember all your dreams and the mysteries 

You have borne in your crystalline soul 

That you sing from your golden throat 

That you shine from your sparkling eyes 

That you feel from the goddess in your thighs, oh 

You're like a saint's song to me 

I'll try to sing it pure and easily 

You're like a Mexican blue 

So bright and clear and pale in the afternoon 

In the afternoon
