A Lighter Shade Of Blue

(album: Soft Talk - 1991)

I guess, it finally dawned on me, you're gone
Well, maybe I can make it on my own
I don't stay up wondering if you'll call
Some nights, I don't dream of you at all

Your memory is still hurting me inside
That's something I'm still learning how to hide
Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Looking down the line sometimes
I think, I see a change
Then I think again and think of you
Here and there, I've turned a stone
But the mountain hasn't moved
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

I'm still afraid of turning out the light
And it takes all my strength to face the night
'Cause that's the time, I face the bitter truth
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Looking down the line sometimes
I think, I see a change
Then I think again, I think of you
Here and there, I've turned a stone
But the mountain hasn't moved
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
Oh, I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
