Lover Of All Things Blue Lyrics

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
