Specifically Visions of Louise Lyrics

You are holding a handful of rain

It twinkles in your palm like the starlight

We both hope the dawn never bothers to come

If this is what the darkness before it is like

And the blue jays flutter over the trees

Like an unanswered prayer on the breeze

I love you, I love you Louise

The sound of your footsteps in my daydreams are cold

But your hands, they are warm like the sunlight

Your precision is your only delicacy

As we smile at the world, just to seem polite

Our fingers are still intertwined

Let's leave Johanna behind

I don't think, no I don't think she will mind

I wasn't prepared for your long-distance care

Or your looking-glass eyes, or your rabid disguise

There was no hope for me by the old chestnut tree

Where you told me your mind was on fire

But I'll write you love songs that sound like the sea

On the edge of the endless blue ocean

You say you'd preserve them if they'd only hold still

But the moment is always in motion

And the blue jays come to roost in the trees

Like the end of a prayer on the breeze

I love you, I still love you Louise
