And now our bodies are oh so close and tight  
It never felt so good, it never felt so right  
And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife  
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife  
C’mon! Hold on tight!  
Well c’mon! Hold on tight!  
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night  
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

When the flames have their season  
Will you hold to your reason  
Loaded down with your talents  
Can you still keep your balance  
Can you live on a knife-edge

I’m gon’ set my soul on fire.  
My heart beats low while the flames go higher.  
Strike the match and then the truth is told.  
I’m gon’ set my soul on fire.  
The Devil made me a woman!..  
I ain’t no liar.

Oh how long it will take  
Till she sees the mistake she has made?  
Dear what can I do?  
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue  
Tell me, oh what can I do?

Blue  
Songs are like tattoos  
You know I’ve been to sea before  
Crown and anchor me  
Or let me sail away

Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day,  
Someone waits for me.  
And the gold of her hair crowns the blue of her eyes,  
Like a halo tenderly.

You ain’t been blue, no, no, no  
You ain’t been blue till you’ve had that mood indigo  
That feelin’ goes stealin’ down to my shoes  
While I sit and sigh, go 'long blues

Time on my hands  
Could be time spent with you  
Laughing like children  
Living like lovers  
Rolling like thunder  
Under the covers  
And I guess that’s why they call it the blues

Is it any wonder I’ve got too much  
Time on my hands  
It’s ticking away with my sanity  
I’ve got too much time on my hands  
It’s hard to believe such a calamity  
I’ve got too much time on my hands  
And it’s ticking away, ticking away from me

Time? What is that?,  
I’ve no time to care.  
I’ve lived for a long while,  
nearly everywhere.  
You will be taken, everyone,  
you ladies and you gentlemen.  
Fall and listen with your ears,  
upon the paving stone.  
Is that what you hear?  
The coming of the sea?

The sea  
Under the summer sky blends  
Its white sheep  
With so pure angles  
The sea  
Infinitive shepherdess of blue

Somewhere beyond the sea  
Somewhere waiting for me  
My lover stands on golden sands  
And watches the ships that go sailing

I saw three ships come sailing in  
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day  
I saw three ships come sailing in  
On Christmas Day in the morning

And what was in those ships all three  
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?  
And what was in those ships all three  
On Christmas Day in the morning?

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy  
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be  
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be  
Talkin’ 'bout very free and easy

Picture yourself in a boat on a river  
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies  
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly

On the shores of Gitche Gumee,  
Of the shining Big-Sea-Water,  
Stood Nokomis, the old woman,  
Pointing with her finger westward,  
O’er the water pointing westward,  
To the purple clouds of sunset.

Red sails in the sunset  
Way out on the sea  
Oh, carry my loved one  
Home safely to me

She sailed at the dawning  
All day I’ve been blue  
Red sails in the sunset  
I’m trusting in you
