The sun set hours ago
And I knew that you were right
The moon rose, my heart froze
And plunged me into the night
I felt a little crazy, without song
An I cried out into the air
I looked down a crowded corridor
And pretended you were there
I free-fell a few weeks ago
And I came out from under your rule
I boo-hooed in my party shoes
And I stille feel like a fool
And I still can’t believe how hard I was hit
With the bullet of your departure
I come away a little dragged down
But at least maybe now I’m a little smarter
Chorus:
Every day, I stay away
Every way, you haunt my days
You’re still walking high and free
That’s the last thing that I heard
I don’t dream, it makes me want to scream
But don’t dare utter a word
So that’s the way it goes in the modern times
No permission and no substance
Well, screw the system that keeps me down
With all fighting and no justice
Chorus:
Every day, I stay away
Every way, you haunt my days
I tip-toe to the edge of the water to peer at my reflection
I don’t think I’m liking what I see
Detached and disillusioned, I turn my head away
Man, I don’t like knowing that’s me
So maybe I’m “Blue” for nothing
Singing blue about nothing
Writing, feeling, singing
And it’s all a big blue nothing
Chorus:
Every day, I stay away
Every way, you haunt my days
Every day, I stay away
Every way, you haunt my days
Baby, I’m blue for nothing…
Baby, I’m blue for nothing…
Baby, I’m blue for nothing…
