The shadows from the footlights made you fifty foot tall
I watched you as the music bounced around the hall
You called me in the morning and sent your car for me
I stumbled as I kissed you dropping ashes in your tea

I wanna wrap you up in a beautiful blue
I wanna wrap you up in a beautiful blue
Oh, I wanna wrap you up in a beautiful blue
I do, I do

Around you there’s a color
A shade unlike the rest
You’re laughing and you’re easy
The way I know you best

(Chorus)

Gonna move outside the city
I know some friends out there
In a tree with painted bottles
Watch the sun dance on your hair

(Chorus x2)

This Gainesville Florida band used to be called The Epics. Then someone in the band suggested the new name Mudcrutch. Tom says it wasn’t him; band mates say it was. It fell apart after moving to California. From its ashes Tom Petty built The Heartbreakers. Later in life, though, Tom got the band back together and they recorded two albums. Some of Tom’s best songs (“Hungry No More”, “I Forgive It All”, “Crystal River”) are on these records.
