Christy Moore – Bright Blue Rose lyrics

I skimmed across black water
without once submerging
onto the banks of an urban morning
that hungers the first light
much much more
than the mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me
goes down with the ease of a dolphin
and emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed.
For she is the perfect creature
a natural in every feature,
and I am the geek with the alchemist's stone.

For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others
You'll find a very special hand.

And it is a holy thing
And it is a precious time,
And it is the only way.
Forget-me-nots among the snow
It's always been and still it goes
To ponder his death
And his life eternally.

For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others
You'll find a very special hand.

And it is a holy thing
And it is a precious time
And it is the only way.
Forget-me-nots among the snow
It's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death
And his life eternally.

One bright blue rose
outlives all those
Two thousand years
and so it goes
To ponder his death
and his life eternally.
