Karaoké Sky Blue & Black Jackson Browne

In the callin' out to one another of the lovers up and down the strand

In the sound of the waves and the cries of the seagulls circlin' the sand

In the fragments of the songs carried down the wind from some radio

In the murmurin' of the city in the distance

Ominous and low

I hear the sound of the world where we played and the far too simple beauty of the promises we made

If you ever need holdin' call my name and I'll be there

If you ever need holdin' and no holdin' back

I'll see you through

Sky blue and black

Where the touch of the lover ends and the soul of the friend begins

There's a need to be separate and a need to be one and a struggle neither wins

Where you gave me the world

I was in and a place

I could make a stand

I could never see how you doubted me when I'd let go of your hand

Yeah and I was much younger then

And I must have thought that I would know if things were gonna end

And the heavens were rollin' like a wheel on a track

And our sky was unfoldin' and it'll never fold back

Sky blue and black

And I'd have fought the world for you if I thought that you wanted me to

Or put aside what was true or untrue if I'd known that's what you needed

But the moment has passed by me now

To have put away my pride and just come through for you somehow

If you ever need holdin' call my name and I'll be there

If you ever need holdin' and no holdin' back

I'll see you through

You're the color of the sky reflected in each storefront window pane

You're the whisperin' and the sighin' of my tires in the rain

You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do

Yeah and I'll never stop lookin' for you

In the sunlight and the shadows

And the faces on the avenue

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

Sky

Sky blue and black
