lyrics

peacock blue

brief awkward moment
after stars collide
listen to your breathing
see you rise
moon has got my tongue
stuck like glue
slip below the surface
peacock blue

I was a walk-on part in your life story
you were the headline marquee-name in mine
i was an out of focus background extra
you got all the pointed witty lines

but i recall in twenty-four frames per second
how you would reach to shield your eyes
in the golden dappled light
which gave your hair a ghostly red corona
with all that implied

and the smoke
and the drink
and the years have bleached and burned the film
but i still remember the script
and a frozen frame as you beckoned me
follow upstairs to the single bed
in your childhood room

the mess of the morning
clearing debris
awkward silence and cheap burnt coffee
words escape me once again
as we said goodbye
close my eyes and press rewind
