Blue Besides

Blue Besides

Hey little angel
you say you don't wanna fly
you wanna live and die with the rest of us
well there's gonna be some changes
you're gonna curse, you're gonna lie
gonna sweat you're gonna cry with the best of us
and you'll forget the things you know
but it ain't giving up, it's letting go

There's gonna be some empty
that's a feeling way down deep inside that let's us know that we're alive and hungry
you'll start saving up your pennies
till you find out all that they can buy will save you for a little while and fade
to nothing

but you're not taking any chances
you're looking for that easy answer
heck no, you didn't get it right, but you can try again tonight
love ain't ever black and white
it's pink and gray and blue besides
pink and grey and blue besides
You've had more than you can handle
and it flickers like a candle right behind your eyes

That golden harp you're playing
it was your ticket out of town
now you're gonna lay it down there in the dust
You think you know what you're saying
but do you really want to try
hang up that halo and get by with the rest of us?
Let those wings go to rust
