Blue Nothing - Amanda Somerville

The sun set hours ago

And I knew that you were right

The moon rose, my heart froze

And plunged me into the night

I felt a little crazy, without song

An I cried out into the air

I looked down a crowded corridor

And pretended you were there

I free-fell a few weeks ago

And I came out from under your rule

I boo-hooed in my party shoes

And I still feel like a fool

And I still can’t believe how hard I was hit

With the bullet of your departure

I come away a little dragged down

But at least maybe now I’m a little smarter

Every day, I stay away

Every way, you haunt my days

You’re still walking high and free

That’s the last thing that I heard

I don’t dream, it makes me want to scream

But don’t dare utter a word

So that’s the way it goes in the modern times

No permission and no substance

Well, screw the system that keeps me down

With all fighting and no justice

Every day, I stay away

Every way, you haunt my days

I tip-toe to the edge of the water to peer at my reflection

I don’t think I’m liking what I see

Detached and disillusioned, I turn my head away

Man, I don’t like knowing that’s me

So maybe I’m «Blue» for nothing

Singing blue about nothing

Writing, feeling, singing

And it’s all a big blue nothing

Every day, I stay away

Every way, you haunt my days

Every day, I stay away

Every way, you haunt my days

Baby, I’m blue for nothing…

Baby, I’m blue for nothing…

Baby, I’m blue for nothing…
