[Refrain: Maud Nadal]
Frail as people and innocent as lines
Between the islands rocking me to white
[Verse 1: Nicholas Allbrook]
Beethoven is really about something
I go to sleep when it gets dark
I get up with the morning light like a chicken
Let's go to lunch
[Chorus: Nicholas Allbrook]
Nothing but blue skies from now on, baby
Nothing but blue skies
Nothing but blue skies from now on
Nothing but blue skies
[Refrain: Maud Nadal]
Frail as people and innocent as lines
Between the islands rocking me to white
[Verse 2: Nicholas Allbrook]
Traces a net cradle hung from a steeple
Counting every time her fingеrs brush the grass
Behind closed еyes, where the little snowflakes dance
Her silken hair and the rocking chair
[Chorus: Nicholas Allbrook]
Nothing but blue skies from now on, baby
Nothing but blue skies, I swear
Nothing but blue skies from now on, baby
Nothing but blue skies
[Refrain: Maud Nadal]
Frail as people and innocent as lines
Between the islands rocking me to white
[Verse 3: Nicholas Allbrook]
Beethoven is really about something
Now a seething lunatic and finally can't think at all
I've jumped the ship, I've kissed goodbye
My vacant skull and my glassy eye
[Outro: Nicholas Allbrook & Maud Nadal]
Nothing but blue skies
Happiness is being on the beam with life
Nothing but blue skies
Catching joy like a butterfly (Lines, lines)
Innocent as lines (Lines, lines)
Lines (Lines, lines)
Lines (Lines, lines)
Oh, lines (Lines, lines)
(Lines, lines)

Nick Allbrook:
A tribute to Agnes Martin, with none of her zen delicacy—sorry. Took some lyrics from a letter she wrote to her art dealer which I thought was brilliant. [French artist] Maud Nadal did the ‘frail as people’ bit, which I love. A lot of this album’s lyrics are kind of biographical.
