True Blue

The song is not finished yet, but this is for the moment as far as I have it. I need some
new input from one of you. Please? Be gentle with the song, it's a beautiful one. Listen to
the CD, although it's not half as good as the live version I heard in Paradiso (Amsterdam ;-)
september 1995. Maybe it's my poor system, but this song should be all around and echo in your belly...

True blue before sunrise, I'm so happy here with you
Following slow tides, I'd go anywhere with you

Blue light through my window, blue light fills my room
I lie here in blue heaven, I'd go anywhere with you

Before the day break's noises
Blue fades with voices

True blue before sunrise, beautiful upon my pillow
Still and so world wise, I'd go anywhere with you

True blue before sunrise, sweet dreams, baby
Sweet dreams, baby, sweet dreams baby
