lyrics

FADED TO BLUE

I work on this song sometimes
Write a few lines
Cross out one or two
I’m not too sure any more
Just who it is for
Or if what I am saying is true
So easy to be mistaken
So hard to read the signs
And I get caught up in rhymes too
While this photo of you
Faded to blue

I had this dream you were leaving
And the very next day you were gone
I had no inclination for grieving
But grieving is all that I’ve done
Till my photo of you
Faded to blue

I could not quite trust enough
To make do with love
The sky is never stays blue
All of it mine for a day
Till I threw it away
And I'm left still reaching for you
Once we walked in the scent of magnolias
It all comes back to me now
And your face so clear somehow too
While this photo of you
Faded to blue

Oh who can restore the colors
Of a love that's faded away
-Gone like the dew at midday?
But I still try anyway

They said not to wait at the crossing
But I had to look back at the train
Now my wallet is weighed down with my losses
And all it contains are some names
And a photo of you
Faded to blue
