Borrowed Sky Blue Jacket

by Zuri Bell

“An evening, a jacket round my shoulders and a first feeling that it might be love. It sounds like a blue hour.”

Lyrics

You put your jacket round my shoulders
Evening air was getting colder
Sky blue sleeves, a little too long
Smelling like sunshine and your song

I said I'd give it back tomorrow
But I'm not ready, so I'll borrow

Sky blue jacket, wrapped around me
Warm as a promise, soft as the sea
Keep it, keep it, one more day
Pockets full of things you didn't say
Sky blue jacket, hold me near
Everything's brighter when you're here

Found a ticket stub in the seam
Pressed flower from our summer dream
Cuffs rolled up and a button missing
Every stitch is a little wishing

I said I'd give it back tomorrow
But I'm not ready, so I'll borrow

Sky blue jacket, wrapped around me
Warm as a promise, soft as the sea
Keep it, keep it, one more day
Pockets full of things you didn't say
Sky blue jacket, hold me near
Everything's brighter when you're here

Maybe some things are meant to stay
Maybe borrowed turns to yours someday
Sleeves too long, but it fits just right
Walking home in the golden light

Sky blue jacket, wrapped around me
Warm as a promise, soft as the sea
Keep it, keep it, one more day
Pockets full of things you didn't say
Sky blue jacket, hold me near
Everything's brighter when you're here

Sky blue, sky blue
Everything's brighter with you
