BLUE

“ BLUE “   


               RED HAIR DANCED ACROSS HER FACE LIKE FIRE BURNING TREES
               RIPS AND HOLES IN FADED JEANS JUST ADDED TO THE TEASE
               I PICKED UP THE HITCH HIKING TEEN WE RODE SILENT FOR A WHILE
               SHE LOOKED LOST IN THOUGHT THEN I SAW A CROOKED LITTLE SMILE             
               I ASKED WHAT’S YOUR NAME BUT SHE DIDN’T SAY A WORD
               THEN TURNED LOOKED AT ME SAID THE SWEETEST THING I’VE HEARD
               BECAUSE YOU RESCUED ME I’LL LEAVE MY NEW NAME UP TO YOU
               I’M RUNNING FROM A BROKEN LIFE I NEED TO START ANEW                        
               WELL I DIDN’T EVEN NAME MYSELF SO THIS IS SOMETHING NEW
                I’LL TRY AND KEEP IT SHORT I THINK I’LL CALL YOU BLUE 
                I HOPE YOUR NEW LIFE’S GOOD TO YOU AND HAPPINESS YOU FIND
                TAKE YOUR NEW NAME BLUE AND LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND
                THAT’S A GREAT NAME SHE SAID I LIKE IT A LOT
                 NOW MY NAME IS BLUE AND THAT NAME IS ALL I GOT 
                 MY PAST WON’T EVER FIND ME NOW I DIDN’T LEAVE A CLUE
                  AND IF ANYONE TRIES THEY WON’T BE LOOKING FOR BLUE
                  SHE SOFTLY SAID IT’S TIME FOR ME AND MY NEW START I HAVE A LOT 
                  TO DO
                  AND IF I EVER HAVE A SON I MIGHT NAME HIM AFTER YOU                                           
                  YOU CAN DROP ME OFF HERE SHE SAID THIS LOOKS LIKE A NICE TOWN
                   I OFFERED TO STOP AND HELP HER LOOK AROUND
                  NO YOU’VE DONE ENOUGH FOR ME OH AND THANKS AGAIN
                  SHE SMILED WHEN I SAID GOODBYE AND WAVED TO MY NEW FRIEND
