Small Blue Thing - Lyrics by Suzanne Vega


Lyrics
Today I am
A small blue thing

Like a marble

Or an eye


With my knees against my mouth
I am perfectly round
I am watching you

I am cold against your skin

You are perfectly reflected
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against

Your fingers

I am falling down the stairs
I am skipping on the sidewalk
I am thrown against the sky

I am raining down in pieces
I am scattering like light

Scattering like light

Scattering like light


Today I am
A small blue thing

Made of china

Made of glass

I am cool and smooth and curious
I never blink
I am turning in your hand

Turning in your hand

Small blue thing
