Blue & Gold (EP)

by Matthew | Stephen

supported by

Joseph Brooks These songs have been a joy to record. I think that you will find them a joy to listen to. From years of working with Matt, I know that he has put his heart and soul into these songs that speak to his recent travels and personal life experiences.

He has worked hard on his poetry and that work shines through in the imagery in Endless Sea, Red Forrest, and Blue and Gold.

... But don't take my word for it!

When I left you I went to sea Running from some part of me Into a storm I could not see When I left you I went to sea I don’t know why I felt empty Or what I’d find out in the sea Or that I’d take your ghost with me When I left you I went to sea Save me Save me Save me Save me From the storms in the sea I know now I didn’t know What I had till I watched it go Drift away with the land Like water flowing through my hand [Bridge] Um hum, storms are raging Um hum, my heartbeats racing Um hum, these fears I’m facing Taking me down, down, down I hope one day to understand Why I let go of the hand And the warm touch that once kept me From drifting on the endless sea Save me Save me Save me Save me From the storms inside me Or that I’d take your ghost with me When I left you I went to sea

Saw your flag dance on flag poles I saw it hung from high windows I saw it as woven charms Wrapped around your children's arms I saw it in the early dawn Flying over the Maidon A widow placed one on a shrine It was one of hundreds in a line I even saw it on TV Alongside the word victory Pinned fast to your soldier's chests And draped over machine gun nests It hit me on a speeding train Cutting through gold fields of grain Blue and gold on an endless plane I was staring at the flag Ukraine
