Lyric Blue Of Blue

(Nicholas Holmes, additional lyrics by Carly Simon)

The blue of blue
Is mostly grey
Ain t no silver line
No brighter day
Last of the coming up
Didn t come my way
Looks like I m down here to stay
Down to stay

So kick me, I won t feel a thing
My senses have all been run
And there s nothing left of the used to be
but the weeping that s just begun
That sour taste too late
But now I duck my head
And no cradle rocks this empty bed
If crying s not good for me
Then I guess I m doing wrong
So I sing this crying song
Cry alongYou packed it in too soon
You lose me but not your nerve
Well I guess I know it s what I deserve
Crazy to think that I could keep you on reserve
And so the curtain falls
Curtain falls
