The Innocence Mission
Blue and Yellow
Carrying your blue and yellow painting in the air
You are crossing the morning
And the early streetlights shine in threes
Down onto your hair
On the weekend
On the Saturday of the recital
And the end of the fall
I hope the sun will shine
I hope that you will say if I can
Be a friend to you
Be a friend sometime
Carried over traffic
You are lifted over cars, over the weather
Altogether you are held high
You are traveling far
On the morning
With bells sending up songs
Of forgiveness, righting every wrong
I hope the sun will shine
I hope that you will say if I can
Be a friend to you
Be a friend sometime
The year has been up and down
I hope this is a new day now
To let the love that's here
Lift us from the ground
I'm missing you, please come by
I hope that you will say if I can
Be a friend to you, as you have been mine
The year has been up and down
I hope this is a new day now
To let the love that's here
Lift us from the ground
