Purest Shades of Blue

I was led into a room
Large and dark
And everywhere
People strewn about
In half-resisted rest
Hands propped under chins
Or slumped forward
Elbows on knees
All muttering
They were gathering strength
For triumphs
Barely out of reach

While a narrow band of daylight
Across my back
Was thinning
To a string

Am I trapped at last
No more space to run
Trailing emotion behind
That everyone can see
But me
And I don't want to turn around

While a narrow band of daylight
Across my back
Was thinning
To a string
While a narrow band of daylight
Across my back
Was thinning
To a string

(Sue)
Been circling you
All my life
And trying to figure out how
If your eyes in mine
Well how do I see you
How will I ever see you right
The past is fixed
Affixed
Unfixable
And pennies are a sickly shade of brown
And aflame from the sun in your car
Can I make the slow working of time
Do what we need it to do?

(Susan I'll try)

Live purest shades of blue
And lush green
Stay with me
Susan I'll try
Live purest shades of blue
And lush green
Stay with me
Susan I'll try
