Thieves' Kitchen - Germander Speedwell lyrics

Bleu, and pure, blue as the dawn, And blue as alone. Lazuline, fragile and wild, It smiles at the sun. Perfect, Small song of the summer; Blue, blue as the sky. Here's a myth in ultramarine, The wayfarer's boon. Damned are his eyes, the man who would try To pull up the bloom. Fleeting, Sapphire evanescence; Blue, blue as goodbye. I stole some home, Kept it under my pillow But there it soon withered. If you would love it, let it be. Germander. Long ago, eyes like a child Were blue to my grey She would run, eldritch and wild, Took my heart away. Always, Sapphire unforgetting; Blue, blue as the night. I staked a claim With poems under my pillow, But she would not listen. I couldn't help but let her be Germander.
