SUZANNE VEGA ~ SMALL BLUE THING

This is my most favourite song in all the world. I just fell completely in love with it the first time I heard it at the beginning of 1987 and it has remained my favourite ever since.

It is from Suzanne Vega's first album called simply 'Suzanne Vega' which was first released in 1985.

This is for me the best love song ever. So simple yet so beautiful, it is very much a 'Me Song'.......

Today I am
A small blue thing
Like a marble
Or an eye
With my knees against my mouth
I am perfectly round
I am watching you
I am cold against your skin
You are perfectly reflected
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against
Your fingers
I am falling down the stairs
I am skipping on the sidewalk
I am thrown against the sky
I am raining down in pieces
I am scattering like light
Scattering like light
Scattering like light
Today I am
A small blue thing
Made of china
Made of glass
I am cool and smooth and curious
I never blink
I am turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Small blue thing
