Age Old Blue Lyrics - To Be Still - Alela Diane

The sea beneath the cliff 

Is the blue in my mother's eyes 

That came from the blue in her mother's eyes 

Thrown on down the line 

By our family who worked the field 

On borrowed land above the ocean 

My family worked the field on borrowed land 

Higher hills do not provide 

For hearts born of coral and moss 

Where rain won't flow beyond our stream 

And water is captive to the well 

There was a gentleman 

I've always known his children's songs 

Blue eyes were hardened by the war 

But still he went on singing

Night can't hide a man 

When his eyes are tearing 

The night can't hide his cries 

There's only a few of us left 

Higher hills do not provide 

For hearts born of coral and moss 

Where rain won't flow beyond our stream 

And water is captive to the well 

I've known that age old blue 

Lies in home with sirens tombs 

He's left a deep desire 

For a home beside the water 

Shady rhythm calms the night 

And that voice is never still 

You know a voice is never still 

And a voice is never silent

Shady rhythm calms the night 

And that voice is never still 

You know a voice is never still 

And a voice is never silent 

Higher hills do not provide 

For hearts born of coral and moss 

Where rain won't flow beyond our stream 

And water is captive to the well
