Light Blues

I was waiting for a light

T’keep me comp’ny for the night.

Heard a whisper 

from a corner

and it made me feel alright.


I was shooting for the stars

They said I wouldn’t get too far.

They can’t see me

standing lonely

on the cold red dirt of mars.


He was waiting in the wings

Ready with a diamond ring.

Should’ve known that

life’s a Cadillac

that’s too filled up with things.


The party started in the storm

They were trying to keep warm.

Took my jacket

cigarette packet

Got lost trying to get home.


Told my story to a girl

With brown eyes and pretty curls.

She found it funny

and said "honey-

You are still young for this world."


I was waiting for a light

T’keep me comp’ny for the night.

Heard a whisper 

from a corner

So I finally slept alright.




The Starry Night
