The Bright Blue Rose

Come now here this song’s been waiting
Off to find the Bright Blue Rose
Broken hearts the world’s been making
Will not take you where you long to go

Gaze beneath the broken promise
Yesterday no need to hold
Reach down where your heart is beating
There I’ll meet you at that river

Refrain

Some will rise and some will stay free
Some will fall and some will go
Some will stay lost inside their daydreams
Some will find the open road

Come with a light on
Cast your shadows
Come with a reason
For heaven’s ways
I’m with a mind for journeys yonder
Cast your ropes…we start now here today

Refrain 2

Man the oars for the way out through the harbor
Set a course past unconstant shores
Set the sheets a hard for the outward flowing
Sailing on the promise of an open door
I am a sailor on the open ocean
Fill me lungs with the lively breeze
Out into the Mindless Vast I’m going
There I’ll find a Bright Blue Rose for me…
