I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY

Well, I'm as blue as the sky
on a fresh cold morn,
My heart's a tangle
of thorns and scorn,
I've been walkin' these streets
since the day I was born,
Oh, I'm blue,
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY.

The wind whispers secrets
as it blows,
I've been chasin' shadows,
Lord only knows,
My suitcase full
of memories and woes,
Oh, I'm blue,
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY.

CHORUS:
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY, babe,
don't ask me why,
Been down this road before,
I ain't gonna lie.
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY, babe,
but please don't you cry,
I'm just tryin' to
find my way home.

Seen the sun rise
more than ten thousand times,
But still, I am searchin'
for that sweet sunshine,
My dreams are all ragged,
my love's on the line,
Oh, I'm blue,
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY.

The rain it falls
like tears from my eyes,
And I'm haunted by echoes
of your farewell sighs,
These city lights nothin'
but broke fireflies,
Oh, I'm as blue,
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY.

CHORUS:
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY, babe,
don't ask me why,
Been down this road before,
I ain't gonna lie.
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY, babe,
but please don't you cry,
I'm just tryin' to
find my way home.

So I stand, a man
who is broken, it's true,
With a heart as heavy
as my worn-out shoes,
I'll keep walkin'
'til I find my way back to you,
Oh, I'm blue,
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY.

CHORUS:
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY, babe,
don't ask me why,
Been down this road before,
I ain't gonna lie.
I'M AS BLUE AS THE SKY, babe,
but please don't you cry,
I'm just tryin' to
find my way home.
