Lyrics
Deep Blue Chill

(v1)
Uncombed, unkempt, uncared for
He crouches near a tree
His wild eyes follow closely
The groups of two or three
But what he's really looking at
Is nothing we can see

Pre-chorus
Don't turn away, don't criticise
Look on him with kindly eyes

Chorus
For in the deep blue chill of the universe
One candle and its tiny flame
May be a blazing beacon
To a man on the edge of insane
Breathing in and out
Without relief
The lilac-laden scent of grief

(v2)
Resigned, remote, and rigid
She's huddled in a chair
Her sad eyes staring inward
At someone who's not there
But what she's really thinking of
Is nothing we can share

Pre-chorus
Don't turn away, don't criticise
Look on her with kindly eyes

Chorus
For in the deep blue chill of the universe
One candle and its tiny flame
May be a blazing beacon
To a woman who's always been blamed
Breathing in and out
In mute despair
The copper-laden scent of fear

Bridge
Behold the child, behold the man
The woman doing what she can
Fighting bravely, though they know
The road will get harder as they go

Chorus
But in the deep blue chill of the universe
One candle and its tiny flame
May be a blazing beacon
To forgotten people filled with pain
Breathing in and out
Close to madness
The lily-laden scent of sadness

The verses are spectacular! But not tamping down an equally good chorus! You emote this really well. I can't remember the rock version, but I really love this one! Your Scottish twang makes it even so much better! "The lily laden scent of sadness"....great line!

Damn! I like this way better than the prog version (which is quite good).
Sheer lyrical poetry...
One of your best vocal deliveries bro.

Thank you for sharing the lyrics. Your voice commands us to pay attention, and it's good to read them... Fantastic songwriting and strong delivery. When a song is this good, it doesnt need a lot of noise around. Bravo.

Wow. What a great song. The words are so very well put together. The simple guitar and drum arrangement works perfectly. And super vocal performance

Dramatic. Like listening to a book, hanging on every lyric waiting for the story to progress... sad, gray, professional songwriting.
