Love In Blue ―Justin Cayce
I listen every evening
To songs both old and new
Hoping to hear some words to say to you
But I never found the right ones
Nothing sounded true
Until I wrote to you in midnight blue
I've heard the cheeky hip-hop pop
That mix bad words with dance
An' I have seen the disco floors
Where people move in trance
I've heard the city cowboys
Sing a long lost love lament
An' I've been with rockin' rebels
Rolling out their discontent
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
I didn’t choose
But I’ll never loose
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
Over you
Over you
I've seen the bangled buskers sell
Their plastic hearts for gold
An' I've known a dusky minstrelle
Curse the passion in her soul
While croonin' tunes of misty moons
Until the tears get overdue
I see the face I can't erase
An' all my thoughts return to you
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
I didn’t choose
But I’ll never loose
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
Over you
Over you
I’ve heard the songs
That say the words
“I’ve gotta leave you, babe.”
As if a shadow
Of true love
Could forever masquerade
So where’s the words I’m listening for
To make you love me too?
The words to cut you like I’m cut
To show you love in blue
I’ll listen every evening
To songs both old and new
And though I know it’s so unwise
To dwell upon your face and eyes
An' talk to you when day is through
Forever seeking words more true
But I don't know what else to do
To hold onto this memory of you
Of you, my love in blue
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
I didn’t choose
But I’ll never loose
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
Over you
Over you
Justin Cayce
