Powder Blue Lyrics by Elbow

Asleep in the Back

2001

[Verse 1]
Your eyes are just like black spiders
Your hair and dress in ribbons
Babycakes
In despair or incoherent, nothing in between
China white, my bride tonight
Smiling on the tiles

[Chorus]
Bring that minute back
We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins
I share it all with you
Powder blue, oh

[Verse 2]
Stumble through the crowds together
They're trying to ignore us
That's okay
I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin
Sallow-skinned, starry-eyed
Blessed in our sin

[Chorus]
Bring that minute back
We never get so close to death, makes you so alive
I share it all with you
Powder blue, oh
Yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

[Chorus]
Bring that minute back
We'll never get so close as when the sunward flight begins
I share it all with you
Powder blue, oh
