Blue in the Shadows

[Verse]
The sun takes a bow, the curtains fall,
I sit with the dark, no need to call.
The moon’s on leave, the stars don’t glow,
The night’s my stage, but the crowd won’t show.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m blue in the shadows,
Where the silence sings.
Lost in the echoes,
Of yesterday’s wings.
Blue in the shadows,
And the world’s gone gray,
Chasing the sunlight,
But it won’t stay.

[Verse 2]
A clock ticks slow, the minutes tease,
Each one a whisper, a fleeting breeze.
The mirror sighs, won’t meet my eye,
I ask it "Why?" but it won’t reply.

[Prechorus]
The rain on the window hums low,
A tune only heartache can know.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m blue in the shadows,
Where the silence sings.
Lost in the echoes,
Of yesterday’s wings.
Blue in the shadows,
And the world’s gone gray,
Chasing the sunlight,
But it won’t stay.

[Bridge]
If hope’s a feather, then mine’s flown south,
No tune on my lips, no words in my mouth.
But I’ll keep on walking, through this night,
Maybe tomorrow will bring back the light.
