Behind Every Cloud, Your Blue Verse 1 Whenever I looked at the open sky, I saw an ocean learning how to fly, No waves upon its quiet face, No scars of storms, no sign of rain. And somehow in that endless blue I always found a piece of you, A heart that stayed through summer light, And held me warm through winter nights. Pre-Chorus And even when the heavens turned to gray, I knew the blue had never gone away. Chorus You were the blue behind every cloud, The quiet heart when the thunder grew loud, You were the jasmine breathing at night, A little flame in the coldest light. I drank your love when my years were dry, I laid it gently where my wounds would cry, And every broken part of me somehow knew There was still a heaven As long as there was you. Verse 2 I watched the clouds grow dark with pain, Black cheeks crying their salted rain, But I could walk beneath the storm And never feel the wet or cold. Because your memory was a coat, Your heartbeat was my antidote, And every drop that touched my skin Found your summer burning within. Pre-Chorus The world could change its colors every day, But I believed your heart would always stay. Chorus You were the blue behind every cloud, The quiet heart when the thunder grew loud, You were the jasmine breathing at night, A little flame in the coldest light. I drank your love when my years were dry, I laid it gently where my wounds would cry, And every broken part of me somehow knew There was still a heaven As long as there was you. Bridge If love were water, Yours could quench The thirst of all my wasted years. If love were medicine, One touch from you Could close the oldest wounds and tears. If love were bread, I'd live on yours Until the ancient stars were gone. For you were never love alone— You were the place Where I belonged. Verse 3 But I lost you this evening Somewhere between daylight and dark, And suddenly the universe Forgot the language of my heart. The jasmine lost its perfume, The moon forgot to rise, And that enormous blue I loved Became a window without light. Final Chorus You were the blue behind every cloud, Now every silence is painfully loud, You were the summer under my skin, The place where all my hopes began. I drank your love through the thirst of time, I called your heartbeat a home of mine, But tonight even heaven has changed its hue— Every road is sorrow When it doesn't lead to you. Outro So if tomorrow brings the rain, I'll search behind its veil of gray, For somewhere past those weeping clouds My heart still thinks you'll stay. Because once one heart Made the whole world beautiful... And when I lost it, Everything became Another shape of pain.
