robyns egg blue

from Pica Pica by Ruby Oland

/

lyrics

it was a full moon
we burned our wishes true
a pisces,
with eyes of blue
a body of water
with currents cool

and an empty nest
where I watched her undress
with clean lilac sheets
we tossed & tumbled to escape the heat

well i biked to you at sundown
we drove
all through the night
not knowing, not caring, oh, which way was home
I thought, for a moment, we could run

oh, run.
to the desert,
run, oh, run on down to mexico
let the southern sun burn our northwest skin
leave the rented car out in the sand

and the sky, a robyns egg blue
but with this empty nest I can't help but think you flew

a thin crescent moon
like your shadow across your empty room
sing me an old song from before I was born
sing me a tune I never knew.

sing me an old song from way back when
when the girls
wore robyns egg blue
