Natural Blue
Julie Byrne
Back on tour
Driving through southwestern towns
I’d been in before
Sun split ember, fields that span both ways forever
When I first saw you
The sky, it was such a natural blue
Stars from a back porch
They’re talkin’ but I don’t say much anymore
It’s old news but if you’re asking
Been a long time since I’ve been moved
But when I first saw you
That feeling, it came over me too
Natural blue
Chicory burns grass at your knees
Walk forward from your open wound
Live in dreams, I remain forever
Inside the colors you’ve shown to me
When I first saw you
The sky, it was such a natural blue
The sky was such a natural blue
Natural blue
