In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the sand
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 the world where we played
And the far too simple beauty Of the promises we made
If you ever need holding Call my name, Ill be there
If you ever need holding And no holding back,
Ill see you through Sky blue and black

Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
Theres a need to be separate and a need to be one
And in a struggle neither wins
Where 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 Id let go of your hand

Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were going to end
And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And it'll never fold back
Sky blue and black

And Id have fought the world for you
If I thought that you wanted me to
Or put aside what was true or untrue
If Id known thats what you needed
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, Ill be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back,
Ill see you through

You're the color of the sky Reflected in each store-front window pane
You're the whispering and the sighing Of my tires in the rain
You're the hidden cost and the thing thats lost In everything I do
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you

In the sunlight and the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
Thats the way love is
Sky blue and black
