I'll give myself a vision
Of a boy for this one girl
He can be the colours of a paintbox set
In a black and white world
He'll be a bit of everything
Be the silver in the clouds
Be a whisper silent as a kiss
Or a scream that's just as loud
I know he can be found
Adonis blue
Adonis blue
Sad like me but he's always smiling
Can't find me, I can't find you
You're tried and true
It's only you
Adonis blue
He'll be the stroke of midnight
Or the morning's faithful rise
Be the music buried in the garden of a church
Like the loveliest surprise
I heard there isn't anyone
That the breed has long been gone
I'm still not sure that I'm convinced
Gonna try to prove them wrong
Gonna look and look hard and long
Adonis blue
Adonis blue
Sad like me but he's always smiling
Can't fool me, I can't fool you
You're tried and true
It's only you
Adonis blue
Wish upon a star, pull the petals from a flower
Make a special wish when the clock strikes certain hours
Blow out the candles on the cake, pitch the pennies in the fountain
God, speed him to me
I promise I'll be good
I'll be waiting by the window
I'll be sitting in the dark
He's just gotta be there
'Cause I've looked so very hard
Adonis blue
I've looked so very hard
Can't find me, I can't find you
You're tried and true
It's only you
Adonis blue
Adonis blue, he's a boy come true
He's a little bit of him, a little bit of you
Cherub face with those dug in heels
He's everything I mean, he's everything I feel
Rag doll singing in the slippery city rain
Plugging in my circuits, dancing in my brain
Adonis blue, he's a boy divine
Gonna to try to find him
Gonna make him mine
Can't find me, I can't find you
You're tried and true
If I only knew
Adonis blue
I'll give myself a vision
