In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city
In the distance ominous and low
I hear the sound of a world where we play
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made
If you ever need holding
Call my name I'll be there
If you ever need holding
Then no holding 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 the struggle in the wind
Well you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When I let go of your hand
Yeah I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were going to end
And the heavens were older
Like a wheel on a track
Our sky was unfolding
It'll never fall back sky
Blue and black
And I have bought the world for you
I have bought the world for you
If I thought that you wanted
You wanted me too
Oh put aside what was true
Or untrue or untrue
If I'd known that's what you if I'd known
That's 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 holding
Call my name I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back I'll see you through
You're the color of the sky
Reflecting in each store front window pane
You're the whispering and the sighing
Of my tires in the rain
You're the hidden cost of the thing
That's lost in everything I do
Yeah I'll never stop looking for you
In the sunlight and the showers
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
