Seven Shades of Blue

Yet another song from the upcoming album. Soon I'll have given them all away for free and really ticked off the record label guys. That's how I roll though.

Lyrics:

i walked in
wearin' seven
shades of blue
found a smile
and headed
straight for you
you were singin'
like you
always do
no idea
what you put
me through

you asked if
I could tell
you something new
i told you
about horses
when they flew
all the while
you knew it
wasn't true
then you said
you really don't
like blue

once time loved me
two years dearly
three was too long
for you clearly
five days I cried
sixteen teardrops
seven shades
of blue

the firetrucks
came callin'
right on cue
but there was nothing
they could do
they asked if
you knew who did
this to you
you lied and said
you didn't
have a clue

tomorrow night
you'll marry
number two
I won't
be there
congratulating you
if I were
I know just what
I'd do
I'd walk in
wearing seven
shades of blue

one time loved me
two years dearly
three was too long
for you clearly
five days I cried
sixteen teardrops
seven shades
of blue
