Sky Blue and Black Jackson Browne

[Verse 1]
In the calling out to one another of the lovers
Up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
Ominous and low

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the sound of the world where we played
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made

[Chorus]
If you ever need holding
Call my name, and I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
Sky blue and black

[Verse 2]
Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
Where you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When I'd let go of your hand
