Aoife O'Donovan - Detour Sign lyrics

Blue in the heart, blue in the face Black and blue from running this race Blue is the color that you must embrace I blew it up, blew it up Blew a hundred kisses and sent him down south How will I know if the road is closed Detour sign and the man in the neon coat Got the flashling, got the moonlight Swimming in the blue light My blood is red I scraped my knee on the sidewalk Trying to write your name with chalk I drew us a house, drew the windows away Drew you inside My blood is red running down my leg How will I know if the road is closed Detour sign and the man in the neon coat Got the flashling, got the moonlight Swimming in the blue light I woke up in a border town Just as the leaves were turning brown But there's no magic here There's no rainbow No crimson forest floor to lay me down I woke up in a border Cause I lost my way as the sun went down Oh I couldn't see the ribbons your tied to the trees The dark rolled in and swallowed me What's there, what do you say You love me anyway That's not enough, not today Blue is all around me now It's in the bottle under the bed I drank it down All the way All the way All the way All the way down
