Blue is the Eye

A crack in the sky lends a light to the dark

The wind blows the ember, a coal from the hearth

You carry it proudly through ditches and trees

And cross the horizon to lie down and sleep

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye watches over the sea

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye that looks after thee

Over the ocean toward a new world

The city, the island, the tear in the pearl

A boat on the water casts out a clear eye

The darkness beneath us is teeming with life

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye watches over the sea

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye that looks after thee

Handed the fire from the hearth on the hill

The coal and the ember, they glow away still

Songs to the stranger, familiar and clear

Ring out in chorus for all you hold dear

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye watches over the sea

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye that looks after thee

A flash in the dark glimmers silver and blue

Breaches the waves for a moment or two

Moves away slowly back into the deep

Blue is the eye watches over the sea

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye watches over the sea

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye that looks after thee

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye watches over the sea

Lie down and sleep, sleep well, my darling

Blue is the eye that looks after thee
