Between us only blue

I knew her for a little bit
As I was passing through
Just a cloud above
A cloud below
And between us only Blue

The Sun peeped through shone down its shaft
Like a gleaming sword of yellow
Just brief enough for us to see
Eachother before all turned into shadow

Well I knew her for the shortest time
Just a hair's breadth on the line
Measured by the smiles the laughs
That we once knew
Soon the winter came to pass
And it's chill frost, dark and hoar
The north wind blew shut the door
Now she has gone my wayward lass
And between us only Blue

The distance between us turned to ice
And I saw her no more
To think that between us
A strong love once grew
One neither could ignore
Now all that has turned to dust
The heart strings pulled by lust
She spreads her wings and soars
Between us only Blue

The wind it blows its arrows
Pointing us where to go
Like scattered needles in compass
Or an eddie in a stream
Sometimes the sails are full to bursting
Spread out like an eagle's wings
other times they're clean and flat as linen
Laid out on a bed made new
But then that was then my wayward dove
Now between us only Blue
