In this short clip, Rosanne Cash performs her song “Modern Blue” from the album The River & The Thread accompanied by producer and songwriter Joe Henry.

I went to Barcelona on the midnight train
I walked the streets of Paris in the pouring rain
I flew across an island in the northern sea
And I ended up in Memphis, Tennessee
I keep my head down, I keep my eyes on you
It’s a big wide world with a million shades of modern blue
Everybody ’round here moves too fast
And it feels so good but it’s never gonna last
Everything I had is twice what I knew
But I don’t have nothing if I don’t have you
I keep down my head down, I keep my eyes on you
It’s a big wide world with a million shades of modern blue
Will you still be there when I round the curve?
Will you hold my hand when I lose my nerve?
I went to Barcelona and my mind got changed
So I’m heading back to Memphis on the midnight train
I keep my head down, I keep my eyes on you
It’s a big wide world
I keep my head down, I keep my eyes on you
I keep my head down, I keep my eyes on you
It’s a big wide world with a million shades of modern blue
