Glass Blues


GLASS BLUES (Andrew Ranken & Joe Korner)

The sea was like a millpond
Just like a sheet of glass
The sea was like a millpond
Smooth as a sheet of glass
You in your flawless skin
All those summers past

We took the road out to the West
To the wild Atlantic blue
Took the road out to the West
To the wild Atlantic blue
And the glass was brimming over
As it passed from me to you

But I turned and looked away
And there was only empty sky
A broken window pane
I hung my head and cried
Tried to remember
What it was you said
But there was only silence
On the empty road ahead

Daylight crept through the window
The house quiet and still
Daylight came creeping through the window
The house quiet and still
Another lonesome dawn
Hauled itself up above the hill

But now we’re safe together
Under a sheet of glass
You and I together
Underneath a sheet of glass
Safe in a photo frame
Love will forever last
