Degrees of Blue

Degrees of Blue
Sadness is a shade, a color, a hue Sadness varies in degrees of blue Little Boy lost, room without a view A fresh heartbreak so sad but true... Emptiness drowns in the chest of sorrow Loneliness takes away all the morrow Love is another thing that you can't borrow The light at the end of the tunnel is so far though... Left with the sad decision you're done here Troubled soul obviously thinking unclear Down each cheek slides one last blue tear The emptiness in sadness the unconquerable fear...
