Bright Blue Rose My friend Jack sent me this song, and now I cry whenever I hear it. #irishblood I skimmed across black water Without once submerging Onto the banks of an urban morning That hungers the first light Much, much more than the mountains ever do. And she, like a ghost beside me Goes down with the ease of a dolphin And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone. For all of you who must discover For all who seek to understand For having left the path of others You'll find a very special hand And it's a holy thing And it's a precious time And it is the only way Forget-me-nots among the snow It's always been, and so it goes.... #brightbluerose #folksongs #irish #lyrics #mademecry #gorgeous #lifeishardsometimes #butitsworthit #sentimentalgirl
