Christine Lavin - That Elusive Blue lyrics

It's that time of day the sun has gone down afternoon is over quiet settles on this town the sky is changing color as if on cue temporarily it's an elusive shade of blue that elusive blue there's no crayon in that shade that elusive blue so quickly starts to fade into the darkness it disappears from view it was there where did it go . . . on a plane to Denver late afternoon sitting by the window looking for the rising moon the sun is falling faster than this tiny plane can fly chasing that elusive shade of blue across the sky that elusive blue a j**el tone so rare that elusive blue flirting with the air there is lapis lazuli and indigo you will see through but there is nothing quite like that elusive shade of blue that elusive blue casts a spell on us below that elusive blue will be gone before you know so many never look up but all you dreamers do you glimpse but for a moment that elusive shade of blue
