lyrics

Brand New Shade of Blue

She fooled me once, long ago, so long ago.
She seemed the perfect match but how was I to know?
I’d be left standing with my heart out in the cold.
A southbound train through misery to her ways of old.

She’s showin’ her true colors, for too long now to change her tune.
When the sun comes up the rain comes fallin’ too.
She’s showin’ her true colors, every night on through the dew.
And every mornin’ I’m a brand new shade of blue.

I thought she’d change but that turned out, turned out to be.
A reckless mind caught in a hopeless fantasy.
I search my soul to find within me lies the blame.
For tryin’ to hold on to the one too wild to tame.

She’s showin’ her true colors, for too long now to change her tune.
When the sun comes up the rain comes fallin’ too.
She’s showin’ her true colors, every night on through the dew.
And every mornin’ I’m a brand new shade of blue.

She’s showin’ her true colors, for too long now to change her tune.
When the sun comes up the tears comes fallin’ too.
She’s showin’ her true colors, every night on through the dew.
And every mornin’ I’m a brand new shade of blue.

Every mornin’ I’m a brand new shade of blue.
