Deeper Shades of Blue
I'm feeling down, with a deep, sad hue.
In a stage of life that turns the screw
Where sadness reigns, and joys are few
Where nothing here pulls me through
Oh, how I wish for clear, blue skies
To feel the sun on face and eyes
Rise above this sea of ashen sighs
To find my way beyond tearful cries
Bury me Deep, Bury me True!
In Deeper, Deeper Shades of Blue!
Gotta shed the pain to start again
Lose the jeans, drop the blame
Clean the knife, remove the stain
Load a new canvas in the frame
As I dove into ocean it withdrew
Poured foamy milk into its brew.
Changing waters blue, to brown-tea hue
Leaving echoes where color once flew.
Bury me Deep, Bury me True!
In Deeper, Deeper Shades of Blue!
But for now, I'll sit here and stay
In this sad state, of cloudy gray.
Letting my mood has its sway
Until a bluesy blew blows my way
Bury me Deep, Bury me True!
In Deeper, Deeper Shades of Blue!
