"Detour Sign" lyrics - AOIFE O'DONOVAN

Blue in the heart, blue in the face
Black and blue from running this race
Blue is the color that you must embrace
I blew it up, blew it up
Blew the kindle on the cake with my mouth
Blew a hundred kisses and sent him down south

[Chorus:]
How will I know if the road is closed
Detour sign and the man in the neon coat
Got the flashlight, got the moonlight
Swimming in the blue light

My blood is red
I scraped my knee on the sidewalk
Trying to write your name with chalk
I drew us a house, drew the windows wide
Drew you inside
My blood is red running down my leg

[Chorus:]
How will I know if the road is closed
Detour sign and the man in the neon coat
Got the flashlight, got the moonlight
Swimming in the blue light

[Bridge:]
I woke up in a border town
Just as the leaves were turning brown
But there's no magic here
There's no rainbow
No crimson forest floor to lay me down
I woke up in a border town
'Cause I lost my way as the sun went down
Oh I couldn't see the ribbons your tied to the trees
The dark rolled in and swallowed me

[Verse 3)
What's there, what do you say
You love me anyway
That's not enough, not today
Blue is all around me now
It's in the bottle under the bed
I drank it down

[Outro:]
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way down
