Lyrics: Blue Telescope
Album: Perfectly Good Guitar
Artist: John Hiatt
 

I’ve got a blue telescope, i’m looking at the world tonight
Through a blue telescope; i wish i may, i wish i might
Not see what i see – sheet metal on sheets of ice
Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight

Blue breath on my windshield, i came to a frozen place
She shivered when i said goodbye – i wish i didn’t have to face
Her in that rear-view mirror, though she lives in the heart of me
Looking through this blue telescope
I guess she’ll always be a star to me

The heavens vast and wide
Wait to escort the bride
She lifts her wedding veil
Her breath a lonesome vapour trail

I got this blue telescope – i’m looking for her tonight
Through a blue telescope; tell me, why must the blue angels fight?
Taking one last shot at heaven while they slip stream through paradise
Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight
I’m looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight

I’ve got a blue telescope
Blue telescope
