Shades Of Blue

The tipping of scales and the balance of time Precede it The ticking of clocks in silent homes Admit it Larks ascending Clash with planes Oh, my soul, what will I do to feed them? Nothing inside, nothing outside Nothing in the kitchen What I'm left with, I don't know Spend all your life Just to find out All that matters Is close to you The people you know The things that you're shown Shape our views The places you've been To follow a dream In shades of blue And in a small side street of contemplation He lost it And in the late night bars of annihilation He lost it The truth is that "it" Wasn't his to lose Spend all your life Just to find out All that matters Is close to you The people you know The things that you're shown Shape our views The places you've been To follow a dream In shades of blue The people you know The things that you're shown Shape our views The places you've been To follow a dream In shades of blue Spend all your life
