New Sky Blue
There is something about
the rain soaked streets
where the people don't notice
the parts you delete
from the stories you tell
of your life and home
and how fearless you'll seem
out there on your own
You can take this flight to anywhere
but there's more to moving on
than paying the fare
You're blue eyes have done some cryin'
and those grey hairs are new
You deserve to be flyin', not home singing "Blue,"
"Songs are like tattoos," you know...
Now even though the view
from your window has changed
when you look in the mirror,
it still feels the same
you could paint your walls
a new sky blue,
but those same old photos
will go back up when you're through
You have had the urge to get up and to go
just like that Joni song
you heard on the radio
You're blue eyes have done some cryin'
and those grey hairs are new
You deserve to be flyin', so fly out into the blue,
fly out into the blue
