Art of Blue

To learn the Art of Blue
Is to forget the love you knew

To see as sailors see you see the sky
See the sea
The sky above, the sea below
Light years high, fathoms low
The sphere appears as a plain
With intersecting lines of rain
Their windblown angles change degrees
In ways geometers explain

To learn the Art of Blue
Is to forget the love you knew
Salted tears that may pour
Now ocean's tears no longer yours
The love you lost or never won
Is one wave tossed beneath the sun
It ripples once and then is gone
As if it never had begun

The stars up in the skies
The ocean floor of glowing eyes
The floating phosphorescent glow
The dolphins playing tic-tac-toe

To learn the Art of Blue
Is to forget the love you knew
Salted tears that may pour
Now of the sea not of the shore
Ever old ever new beneath the hold of
Art of Blue
In tales retold by whiskered bards
Who learned it hard will now teach you

To see as sailors see
You see the sky, you see the sea
The eyes above the eyes below
The speeds of light that move so slow
Colors run, one is true
The color on the Art of Blue
The love you lost or never won
Is painted out by sea and sun

To learn the Art of Blue
Is to forget the love you knew
And be the bearer of one ring
The blue horizon circling
To see as sailors see
You see the sky, you see the sea

Come and be one of the crew
And you will learn the Art of Blue
