Birdland Avenue - Sapphire & Gold Lyrics

She is sapphire, she is gold
She is brilliant, she is bold
Made of galaxies unknown (unknown)

She holds the universe in the palm of her hand
Yet collapses the limitless so that you can understand the ways in which her world turns
Ever-changing
Ever-moving
Never losing
Ever-changing
Ever-moving
Never losing
The cosmos contained within (infinitely complicated, infinitely concentrated)
Love

Her heart beats with a cadence and it's hard to stay in time
But she speaks into existence all the words you've tried to find
It's an old familiar tune
And all you have to do
All you have to do
Is listen

She is sapphire, she is gold
She is brilliant, she is bold
Made of galaxies unknown (unknown)

Behold the universe in the palm of your hand
There must be something about a shooting star you just don't understand
Because you looked the other way
And now it's slipping away like sand between your fingers
Or maybe you gave it away, when all the world was at your fingertips
You shoot and you miss, you shoot and you miss, you shoot and you miss

And she'll pass you by
Cause you're only passing through
An entire constellation wasn't bright enough for you
She is sapphire, she is gold
She is brilliant, she is bold
Made of galaxies you'll never know
Don't let her go
You'll never know
Don't let her go

I should never have to question
What I know is good to give
In what world is that a foolish thing
How hard it is to open up
Believe you're worthy of a love
The kind you know is good to give

She painted the sky for you
She waited behind for you
Had nothing but love for you
She wasn't enough for you
She caught all the stars for you
Was a light in the dark for you
She brought out the best in you
Still loved all the rest of you
She carried the weight for you
She made it feel safe to you
She put all her trust in you
She wasn't enough for you
And you let her go
And you let her go
And you let her go
