Suzanne Vega - Small Blue Thing

Today I am
A small blue thing
Or an eye
Like a marble
With my knees against my mouth
I am cold against your skin
I am perfectly round
You are perfectly reflected
I am watching you
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against
I am falling down the stairs
Your fingers
I am thrown against the sky
I am skipping on the sidewalk
Scattering like light
I am raining down in pieces
Scattering like light
Today I am
I am scattering like light
A small blue thing
Made of glass
Made of china
I never blink
I am cool and smooth and curious
I am turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Small blue thing
Today I am
A small blue thing
Or an eye
Like a marble
With my knees against my mouth
I am cold against your skin
I am perfectly round
You are perfectly reflected
I am watching you
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against
I am falling down the stairs
Your fingers
I am thrown against the sky
I am skipping on the sidewalk
Scattering like light
I am raining down in pieces
Scattering like light
Today I am
I am scattering like light
A small blue thing
Made of glass
Made of china
I never blink
I am cool and smooth and curious
I am turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Small blue thing
