blue of the darkest shade
My back's to a street light,
Pushes back a dark blue night.
But not the feel of your hair
Or when you showed me how much you care.
I'm soaked in blue, I should have stayed.
It’s myself that I’ve betrayed,
‘Cause the choice that I made
Binds me to love's dull blade
Colored blue of the darkest shade.
Nothing's of any use.
I walk the round-the-clock blues,
Lookin’ for the time and place,
To meet the cross of your embrace.
But it's clear that I’ve strayed
And the choice that I made
Binds me in love waylaid
Colored blue of the darkest shade.
Are you anywhere I can be?
I follow your memory.
My heart's beat so lookin’ for you,
It's patterned in black and blue.
I’m still walking though I've paid
For the choice that I made
Binds me in love’s grenade
Colored blue of the darkest shade.
I only see a dark blue night.
My feelings drown in that light
I wish I knew what it would take
To meet an accident of fate.
Do you walk a blue line too,
Tryin’ for our past that’s overdue?
I’d give it all in unfair trade
To stop the choice that I made
From digging my grave with a spade
Colored blue of the darkest shade.
