Blow Me Away Lyrics

When I'm a loose-leaf page caught up in hurricane

When I twist and I fold and I fall a child's paper aeroplane

I go to pieces but you catch me, you don't let me break on the pavement

I want you to know that you blow me away

Quite unexpected, a cool desert rain

A gust of wind that starts to spin this rusted weather vane

It's not the drums and the brass as they pound and they blast

When they pass in street parade

It's the silence right after you laugh that blows me away

You blow me away

You blow me away

After years and years it appears nothing has changed

It stays the same, it never fades you blow me away

It's a dynamite moon spilling diamonds and jewels on a black silver wave

It's the city at night, electric and bright, it's a getaway car in my veins

It's the feeling on top a mountain after years spent walking the plain

It's hard to describe, to get the words right, to say that you blow me away

You blow me away

You blow me away

After years and years it appears nothing has changed

You're the light of day in my own dark age

You're the fire brigade when the whole thing goes up in flames

You blow me away

You blow me away

Not talking the terrible thunder that comes from the gun of a tank

Not the crack of the pistol, boom of missile

The sound barrier when it finally breaks

It's the soft the way you move through the room with a dancer's grace

I tremble right into your limbs I'm born again

You blow me away

You blow me away

You blow me away

You blow my mind like a dandelion trying to stand against the hot hair dryer

Like a gospel choir to the lord almighty, singing at the top of their lungs

You blow me over, a saxophone solo, rapid arpeggio, stinging staccato note

Cannonball Adderley, mono to stereo, here until kingdom come

What you do, blow me away

What you do, blow me away

You blow me away

You blow me away

You blow me away
