As blue as me

 

Verse

Have you ever felt lonely?

Have you ever felt alone?

Have you ever felt as if;

If you died- no one would know?

Have you ever sat and cried?

Has suicide crossed your mind?

It’s such a heavy burden

To be sad this long a time.

Chorus

The sky’s so blue

So is the sea

But not as blue,

As blue as me.

No not as blue

As blue as me.

Verse

I sit down by the ocean

And debate on wading in;

Swimming out past the breakers

Until my will to live is spent.

No note, no explanation

Just a man out for a swim.

This is what I would do if

I could write the story’s end.

Chorus

The sky’s so blue

So is the sea

But not as blue,

As blue as me.

No not as blue

As blue as me.

Verse

It’s so calm and so serene

When the sun begins to rise.

Standing at the water’s edge

Watching sea birds flying by.

If I was going to do it

This would be the perfect time.

I’d swim out past the breakers

And I’d write that final line.

Chorus

The sky’s so blue

So is the sea

But not as blue,

As blue as me.

No not as blue

As blue as me.

Blind eyed calm 

And a suicide smile

Never knew her lonely

But she'd been dead a while.... 

 

Just goofing off as usual. Hi Carroll 🙂

Nicely written, as always, Carroll, but the subject matter is a bit on the gloomy side. Not going to please the crowd who say you should only write positive stuff.

On the plus side, it does give me the opportunity to use this emoji  

Edit: Hey - the emoji doesn't work. That's strange.

I may or may not be an enigma

Don't much care. Nobody's buying anything i work on anyway. Might as well just write what i feel like writing and hope some get put to music.There's always a crowd who can relate.
