A Darker Blue There ain’t no home to go to when you’re walking down that goodbye road alone, And there ain’t no one to hold you when you find out you’re no damn good on your own. The years go by too quick and there’s no way you can slow ‘em down at all. Take your place and chalk the stick point it at a pocket hit the ball. Don’t matter where you’re running you’re not fast enough to leave the past behind. And you can’t let the sun in when that goodbye fog is clouding up your mind. The fears pile up too thick and there’s no way you can knock ‘em down at all. Take your place and chalk the stick point it at a pocket hit the ball. It’s hard to keep believing but some day you may finally get it right. Don’t get lost inside your grieving there’s a dawn that breaks to end the longest night. The tears will sometimes drip but there’s no way you can catch ‘em when they fall. Take your place and chalk the stick point it at a pocket hit the ball. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Don’t matter where you’re running you’re not fast enough to leave the past behind. It took many a run through darkness before I learned... but how well I know this! *S* I like this very much... it flows so well the melody teases me... watch out or I'll sing! *G* |

suthern girl, I'd like to hear you sing. You keep saying that like it's a threat, but I ain't skeered. James, thanks. passing shadows, I kept singing it to myself all the time I was writing it. It went from blues with a lot of horns to something like 'Bad to the Bone'. muted, thank you so much! That's a compliment! Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

That's gotta be the most bluesey song I've ever heard. In the light of that if I was the one singing that song I'm sure I take aim to hit the ball and end up tearing the baize. Excellent and emotional write. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
