'Cause you know I hate to fly
so I set out from the coast
But got battered by the tide
As I glided back to shore
I raised an angry oar
And cursed that blue divide
As if it weren't enough
To still be stranded on the wrong side
I landed in the surf
When a breaker hit my blind side
And when my clothes had dried
I hung my head and cried
Beside that blue divide
Because all that time I thought
That you and I were lost
A toss long fallen wide
In that blue divide
That endless blue divide
So I climbed up on a dune
And found Marconi with his radio
He was looking kind of blue
His antenna rusted long ago
Sitting on the cliff
We shared a handkerchief
Above that blue divide
I waved it in the hope
That you owned a telescope
That could pierce that blue divide
I thought I was marooned
Til I caught sight of your balloon
Rising with the moon
Across that blue divide
That endless blue divide
Once I tried to row 'Cause you know I hate to fly so I set out from the coast But got battered by the tide As I glided back to shore I raised an angry oar And cursed that blue divide As if it weren't enough To still be stranded on the wrong side I landed in the surf When a breaker hit my blind side And when my clothes had dried I hung my head and cried Beside that blue divide Because all that time I thought That you and I were lost A toss long fallen wide In that blue divide That endless blue divide So I climbed up on a dune And found Marconi with his radio He was looking kind of blue His antenna rusted long ago Sitting on the cliff We shared a handkerchief Above that blue divide I waved it in the hope That you owned a telescope That could pierce that blue divide I thought I was marooned Til I caught sight of your balloon Rising with the moon Across that blue divide That endless blue divide Explain Request ×
