Brighter Than Blue

I come bearing gifts to myself
One-dollar coffee and a smoke for my health
Walk around Fremantle at 9am
Doctor's appointment and then

A text to a friend with no reply
It's been a month and I don't know why
Sunglasses on, and sometimes a grey sky

Is brighter than blue
Is brighter than blue
Does that mean
Anything to you

An old man in a white cap
Sings Bob Dylan on the street and I clap
I've got no change and I feel bad
I slip away when he turns his back

Then walk to the Ferris wheel, its carriages are empty
They spin quicker when they feel less heavy
I wish I could relate, but sometimes a grey sky

Is brighter than blue
Is brighter than blue
Does that mean
Anything to you

Now I'm back up the hill, there's no more presents
Been filling my cup with the same old hesitance
You look ugly when you cry
Face goes red and your mouth gets dry

And no one likes it when you make a scene
You've been wasted, telling them how you've been
You don't even know why sometimes a grey sky

Is brighter than blue
Is brighter than blue
You can't see
I say to you
