BLUE WAS RED

There was a time when I thought blue was red 
I woke up from the wrong side of the bed 
And my dreams were all caught in purple haze 
Like wandering around a swirling maze 

Kept going forth and back too many times 
And my ears kept ringing my dizzy chimes 
While my shadows chased the keys to my chain
Like a sparrow caught in a hurricane 

At times, the flow of the morning is bright 
But my eyes won't see the gleam of my light 
Everything was capped in mist of gray 
Wondering when do my clouds go away
