      The Bright Blue Rose
      Jimmy MacCarthy
      I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
      Onto the banks of an urban morning
      That hungers the first light, much much more
      Than mountains ever do.
      And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin
      And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
      For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
      And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.
      For all of you who must discover,
      For all who seek to understand,
      For having left the path of others
      You find a very special hand.
      And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
      And it is the only way
      Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
      To ponder his death and his life eternally.
      For all of you who must discover
      For all who seek to understand,
      For having left the path of others
      You find a very special hand.
      And it is a holy thing
      And it is the only way
      Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
      To ponder his death and his life eternally.
      One bright blue rose outlives all those
      Two thousand years and still it goes
      To ponder his death and his life eternally.

    Beautiful words and sung so well
    I skimmed across black water
    Without once submerging
    Onto the banks of an urban morning
    That hungers the first light
    Much, much more than mountains ever do
    And she, like a ghost beside me
    Goes down with the ease of a dolphin
    And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
    For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
    And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone
    For all of you who must discover
    For all who seek to understand
    For having left the path of others
    You'll find a very special hand
    And it is a holy thing
    And it is a precious time
    And it is the only way
    Forget-me-nots among the snow
    It's always been, and so it goes
    To ponder his death and his life eternally
    For all of you who must discover
    For all who seek to understand
    For having left the path of others
    You'll find a very special hand
    And it is a holy thing
    And it is a precious time
    And it is the only way
    Forget-me-nots among the snow
    It's always been, and so it goes
    To ponder his death and his life eternally
    One bright blue rose outlives all those
    Two thousand years, and still it goes
    To ponder his death and his life eternally

I imagine a lot didn't take that last step to North America and stayed in Liverpool.
