lyrics

I’ve spent most my time making plans
Trying so hard, just to watch them upend
One gust from the fall gale, a casual command
Torn from the tree with one graze of your hand

Morning’s attack on my pride was aware
The sun had prepared for this great solar flare
He was here for a minute and then he was gone
Orbit around him, caught up in the pull

CHORUS
It’s so sad to be sad that I just had to laugh
My time for sorrow should surely have passed
But I’m blue, all shades of blue, grey and black too, and there’s nothing I can do
No cure and no clue

Now I glance around at a tired old scene
Think of the days when he’d run back to me
A shoulder to cry tears of purple and teal
But when I look to my side, it’s the rain that I feel

CHORUS
It’s so sad to be sad that I just had to laugh
My time for sorrow should surely have passed
But I’m blue, all shades of blue, grey and black too, and there’s nothing I can do
No cure and no clue
