Blue Sunshine

The words have fallen silent now
And dreams passed away
The pills have taken over and
I don’t know what to say

My bags have all been packed for me
The driver waits impatiently
Not car nor driver
Fits this mystic land  

The hallway doors each filled with they
Who’s eyes plead out for me to stay
It hurts to see
That they don’t understand

I never will forget my time 
Amongst these friends of song and rhyme
They’ll always hold a place 
Inside my heart

But time has past...I’ve given in
And let the pressure finally win
“You have to fix
The world you tore apart”

And so I tread this path I took
Once in the car, a final look
Such hidden beauty
Few shall ever know

Then view dissolves to rising dust
A cold inside, a dampened must
Another pill
Will get me where I go

Yes words have fallen silent now
No longer is there rhyme
No longer is there light except…
The light of blue sunshine

...Tribute Blue October
