Baby Blue from Avalanche by Kalle Mattson

I was born a liar in the twilight dawn
When my mother sang to me a royal hymn, a royal psalm
& I never heard the sound
Of the minor morning until now

I was left to living in the middle of the blood
When my father came to me with the emptiness of love
& I never felt the fate
Of the sparkling city for just a day

Lord I must confess that I long to pretend
Long to come back anew & to be born again
But tomorrow never comes
Never fast enough

Darling you know it’s true
Baby blue
You can stumble through the night
But I will always be waiting up for you
Baby blue
You know it’s true
I’ll always be waiting up for you

I was left to drown with the holy ghost
& my only son would see but he’d never ever know
That I never saw the light
Of the drunk & dying shadowed night

Lord I must confess that I long to pretend
Long to come back anew & to be born again
But tomorrow never comes
Never fast enough

Darling you know it’s true
Baby blue
You can stumble through the night
But I will always be waiting up for you
Baby blue
You know it’s true
I’ll always be waiting up for you
