Indigo & Amber


Dreams of the sun in your eyes

(young hearts, more to see, soaking up the wild and free)

Hair down and uncompromised

(we were just a couple of kids)

Don’t you remember living in spite of the weather, all cares were tossed to the wind

Now the wind’s wishing it had left and gone a-hitchin'



I guess you won’t miss all those indigo and amber skies

You know we try so hard, we don’t wanna have to say goodbye, no no

The magpies are rolling cigarettes from our old wrappers

I hear them snickering, they’re drunk in all their laughter

No you won’t miss all those indigo and amber skies



Late nights and fermented wine

(backyards, apple trees, watching all the honey bees)

Hazy but still breathing fine

(but that’s just for now)

Don’t you remember living in spite of the weather

Our memories kissed by the sun

Now the sun’s sighing, there’s no room for more denying



I guess you won’t miss all those indigo and amber skies

You know we try so hard, we don’t wanna have to say goodbye

The magpies are building tin apartments from our pop cans,

This time they’re worrying, they’re schemin’ up a grand plan

No you won’t miss all those indigo and amber skies



Come with me let’s paint the canyons

Anoint the heathers and the banyans

‘Cross the prairie plains and snowy peaks we’ll sew the seeds of gentle mothers

Tread with weightless feet



I guess you won’t miss all those indigo and amber skies

You know we try so hard, we don’t wanna have to say goodbye, no no

The doves are all praying to a god they make from plastic

The magpies, they’re gamblin’, they’re betting on our chances

You sure won’t miss all those indigo and amber skies?
