i lay down in the wild blue field of your bed
above us the peeled paint and prayers
i wanted to know what the angels said
they breathed your name i swear
and i know that you’re tired of your life on the edge
the corners and cracks of a cage
but deep in the wild blue field of your bed
only a dream remains
so take my good fortune and take my belief
you’re leaving before i wake
may beautiful dreaming and the sweetest release
follow you all through the day
i lay down in the wild blue field of your bed
above us the stars and the stains
i wanted to know what the angels said
i swear they breathed your name
and i know you’re afraid to be loved, to be left
but fences they fall and they fade
and deep in the wild blue field of your bed
only a dream remains
and take my good fortune and take my belief
you’re leaving before i wake
may beautiful dreaming and the sweetest release
follow you all through the day
and take my belongings, the salt from my skin
my body lies bent and between
a beautiful highway where lovers have been
and the wild blue field where they dream
