“Familiar Blue,” Out Now

“Familiar Blue,” Out Now

I hear that change is nothing new

I hear it’s good for you

To clear your head and make some room

There wasn’t any other way

No brighter day

No magic words to make you stay

 

It’s only what I tell myself

Staring at my empty shelf

Erasing days I guess I never knew

Fade into familiar blue

 

I’m trying to tie up all the ragged ends

Split the stuff, split the friends

The lawyers and the dividends

I’ll keep the way the summer evening shines

On highway signs

Past laundry dancing on the lines

 

It’s only what I tell myself

Staring at my empty shelf

Erasing days I guess I never knew

Fade into familiar blue

 

If you ever come this way again

You’ve got a friend

A sunlit bed and time to spend

If you ever want to save

What never went away

 

It’s only what I tell myself

Staring at my empty shelf

Erasing days I guess I never knew

Fade into familiar blue
