What does blue mean to you? by Cécile McLorin Salvant

What does blue mean to you? Lyrics

[00:10.96] What does blue mean to you? And what can yellow do for you?
[00:20.02] And how do two patches of orange
[00:24.15] On a dark and dreary quilt change your life?
[00:32.73] Feed your need
[00:37.88] Your hunger for color
[00:44.51] When will green come into view?
[00:48.16] A sunlit and shimmering pasture wet with dew
[00:53.89] An emerald far in the distance that we've been galloping to
[01:01.04] Barefoot and bloody
[01:04.99] Winded and tired and sweaty
[01:12.56] A black buzzard follows us
[01:16.47] Gleefully smelling our donning detritus
[01:21.92] We hide in a cornfield caressing, converging
[01:27.59] Concealing ourselves with gold
[01:33.27] To burnish our bristling souls
[01:38.40] Two kernels that cannot be sold
[01:43.54]
[02:31.42] What does red mean to you
[02:35.10] When all that you've hoped for is dead?
[02:40.42] When there's so much unfixable pain
[02:44.90] And your only dream is a velvet ribbon
[02:52.27] A ribbon the color of blood, blood, blood, blood
[03:21.33] Of blood
[03:39.04] Of blood
[03:44.58]
[04:08.35] Glowing embers long after a fire has gone out
[04:18.00] Glowing embers, the heat remains and burns
[04:34.42]
