I used to believe
in miracles and music
I used to believe
in my own heart and you
Back when the sun
‘crept over my shoulder,
the sun, your shadow, and blue

Looking through memories
that flow from my eyes
Great rivers of wanting,
upon shores of goodbyes
Each among others,
so warm and so clear
Going back to the days
when I held you near


Now comes October
in the fall of the year
when leaves dance so briskly,
and they follow me here
To the place where you're sleeping,
I've come now to rest
Remembering the sun
holding you to my breast

Lullabies don't linger
on rusty old strings
The words have been lost
and nobody sings
Just sadness and sorrow
are all that time brings,
with the sun, your shadow and blue.



...just bein' Bluesy

Bluesy-
Sounds like a blues song...one I'd play over and over again. Outstanding!

I guess we've all been there at one time or the other.
