[Verse 1] You sang like rain on glass You sang through cracked old walls Baby, you made that hurt Stand up and take its calls Your voice had iron lace Your hands held midnight still And every note you gave Could bend a broken will [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you walked that fire With a saint's straight spine Oh, you turned the sorrow Into swing and shine [Chorus] Lady in blue, sing on (Oh, lady in blue) Lady in blue, sing on (We heard you through) You carried the truth In a velvet flame Lady in blue, sing on We call your name [Verse 2] You told the hard-backed truth With a trembling grace A tear fell in the horn Then healed itself in place The room went hush for you The night leaned close and stayed You made the bruised old world Look human for a day [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you walked that fire With a saint's straight spine Oh, you turned the sorrow Into swing and shine [Chorus] Lady in blue, sing on (Oh, lady in blue) Lady in blue, sing on (We heard you through) You carried the truth In a velvet flame Lady in blue, sing on We call your name [Bridge] Trumpet rose like a prayer Piano held the floor Your shadow in the bandstand Kept opening the door And when the last note fell It didn't fade away It lives in every heart That dares to sing today [Chorus] Lady in blue, sing on (Oh, lady in blue) Lady in blue, sing on (We heard you through) You carried the truth In a velvet flame Lady in blue, sing on We call your name [Outro] Sing on, sing on We call your name Sing on, sing on Lady in blue
