Paintbox colours have some strange and imaginative names; this song began from noticing that and led to a love song I posted years back (deleted to make room on SC)and now to this, which could be a love song to our better natures.
There`s a fair helping of my philosophizing here which may not be to all tastes, but stay tuned; Scott contributes some of his best slide guitar throughout.

The Impossible Blue


grounded freighter tilting in the bay
refugees through moonlight wade
sacrifice their lodestone
feather on feather bone by bone
to give a child wings made new
in the impossible blue

a blind girl`s rainbow songs the deaf man hears
every breath to still hold dear
gratitude their lodestone
feather on feather bone by bone
building wings to carry them through
to the impossible blue

Elysium Green or Burnt Umber Dream
the canvas has no colour you must choose
for sky where all flags fly
in your painting box find
Impossible Blue

we live our lives on this asylum earth
every madness seen inside us first
atonement our lodestone
feather on feather bone by bone
building wings to carry us through
to the impossible blue
building wings to carry us through
the impossible blue
