Lover of All Things Blue

I've seen you standing at the oceans edge
You drown in the vastness of its reach in your head
Then look to the sky where the clouds block your view
Must be a lover of all things blue

You sing in a bar to a lush and some chairs
Your stories fall silent amongst vacant stares
And maybe you'll leave with a dollar or two
Must be a lover of all things blue

A pill and a drink and a smoke build the fog
A heart long forgotten is now too far gone
Oh when did the fall loose its colorful hue?
You're a lover of everything blue

He waxes and wanes
One foot out the door
Each time he gives less
When you beg him for more
And your hearts on your sleeve like a branded tattoo
Must be a lover of all things blue

Something bout' the sadness
Tastes a little sweeter
It only gets harder
Every hill steeper
Looking in the shadows
You're bound to find the darkness
Hind behind blindness
You bite the hand that feeds you

You wait for a call that you know just won't come
You reach out in vain
Since the ties come undone
It's slow suicide when love doesn't love you
Must be a lover of all things blue

Each day you wake up
Foolish hope springs anew
Must be a lover of all things blue
