Detour Sign - Aoife O'Donovan

Blue in the heart, blue in the face

Black and blue from running this race

Blue is the color that you must embrace

I blew it up, blew it up

Blew a hundred kisses and sent him down south

How will I know if the road is closed

Detour sign and the man in the neon coat

Got the flashling, got the moonlight

Swimming in the blue light

My blood is red

I scr*ped my knee on the sidewalk

Trying to write your name with chalk

I drew us a house, drew the windows away

Drew you inside

My blood is red running down my leg

How will I know if the road is closed

Detour sign and the man in the neon coat

Got the flashling, got the moonlight

Swimming in the blue light

I woke up in a border town

Just as the leaves were turning brown

But there’s no magic here

There’s no rainbow

No crimson forest floor to lay me down

I woke up in a border

Cause I lost my way as the sun went down

Oh I couldn’t see the ribbons your tied to the trees

The dark rolled in and swallowed me

What’s there, what do you say

You love me anyway

That’s not enough, not today

Blue is all around me now

It’s in the bottle under the bed

I drank it down

All the way

All the way

All the way

All the way down
