Lonely Blue

Took the love out
from under my thumb
the needle and the rose
left me feeling numb
broke the curse that swept over me
ever since my heart sank into the sea
her love never to be
surrounding the pounding inside me

Took the diamond
cut in neatly in two
one for the dreams I lost
one for the love of you
crashed the ship on a jagged shore
lost in translation, will I feel no more
she walked out the door
long after I forgot what my heart was for

Felt the guilt
spread the quilt
over my composing body now
breathe it in
cover me in sin
getting over the pain just now

Sing a pretty song
love 'till all hope is lost
love 'till I can't feel no more
like a cork on the sea, tossed
until all I see is the endless, lonely blue
and I know now I'll never get over you
I'll do what I can do
to try until I am finally getting through

Felt the hurt
kissed the dirt
fell out of the lonely blue sky
reign over me
never over, you see
she'll still be the belief in every lie
the smile in every tear I cry
and in the wounded heart I hide
she'll reside
until the world dies
until the world dies

Until
my world,
and all that's left of me
sets sail on the lonely blue sea
and dies

"Now if I seem to be afraid
to live the life that I have made in song,
well it's just that I've been losing for so long" -Jackson Browne 'These Days

The pain is felt, well written.
