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
