Lyrics:
Blue songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey Blue, here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking now
You've got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs lots of laughs
Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue I love you
Blue here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me

She really did Joni justice with this. I like both Joni's and Sarah's versions. Their voices are surprisingly similar in some ways. Smooth, expressive, deep, and mourning. 9 years ago

Sarah sang this at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, when Joni received the Governor General's Performing Arts Award in 1996. Sarah sat mid stage, the curtains drawn back only far enough to highlight her sitting at a baby grand, bathed in blue light. At the end of her performance, Joni stood applauding and said "this song now belongs to you."Quite a tribute I would say.9 years ago

I used to listen to this as a young kid, when my parents would play it on the cassettes.... it brings tears to my eyes as I listen to it now. This song is so beautiful, and reminds me of my childhood, I can't help but cry.9 years ago
