Ultravox - Visions in Blue Lyrics

Face in the window in the night
Caught for a second by the light
Ashes of memory still aglow
Only for you
Portraits and pictures you once saw
Visions in blue

Read while the letters still remain
Sip from the wine of youth again
Oaths made in silence still return
Only for you
Cast like a shroud you’re clutching on
Visions in blue

Catch aimless smiles from passers by
Blistered and broken in reply
Breath seems to mist the hazy view
Only for you
Tears coat your lifeless eyes with dew
Visions in blue
Visions in blue

Ashes of memory still aglow
Portraits and pictures you once saw

Ashes of memory still aglow
Portraits and pictures you once saw

Face in the window in the night
Caught for a second by the light
Ashes of memory still aglow
Only for you
Portraits and pictures you once saw
Visions in blue
