In the callin' out to one another
Of the lovers up and down
the strand
In the sound of the waves
And the cries of the seagulls
circlin' the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind
from some radio
In the murmurin' of the city
in the distance
Ominous and low
I hear the sound of the world
where we played
And the far too simple beauty
of the promises we made
If you ever need holdin'
Call my name I'll be there
If you ever need holdin'
Then no holdin' back
I'll see you through
Sky blue and black
Where the touch of
the lover ends
And the soul of
the friends begin
There's a need to be separate
And a need to be one
In a struggle neither wins
When you gave me the world
I was in a place
I could make a stand
I could never see
how you doubted me
When I'd let go of your hand
Yeah and I was much
younger then
And I must have thought
that I would know
If things were going to end
And the heavens were rollin'
Like a wheel on a track
Our sky was unfoldin'
It'll never fold back
Sky blue and black
And I'd have fought the world
for you
If I thought that you
wanted me to
Or put aside what was true
or untrue
If I'd known that's what
you needed
What you needed me to do
But the moment has passed
by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through
for you somehow
If you ever need holdin'
Call my name I'll be there
If you ever need holdin'
And no holdin' back
I'll see you through
You're the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front
window pane
You're the whisperin'
And the sighing of my tires
in the rain
You're the hidden cost
And the thing that's lost
In everything I do
Yeah I'll never stop
looking for you
In the sunlight
And the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
Sky sky blue and black
