Under Gates of Cobalt Blue

Just yesterday, I saw you running

Under sheets of cobalt blue

I was on my way to forgetting

I was on my way home from you

In the house on the River Nice

Trapped in an archetypal dance

I extended my hand to the moment

I look back at it now

Barely, barely

Barely, I was hanging on

Reason enough to be under fire

But it's one reason I must depend

♪

And it was darker in the evening then

My words from their shelter, and runnin' 'round the bend

And it makes me laugh and cry out and laugh again

The era's through, but the story will not end
