The Blues and I


It's a pale blue sky,
Clouds are rolling by on the port side.
I am seeing eye to eye
With the storm in my heart.
The winds wave us apart on the port side.

Everything is moving.
Everything is moving.
So why am I standing still,
looking for a star?
Let there be a star!

Guiding me —
Aye yay yay yay yay yaya.

All those blues in the sky,
While the blues and I —
We meet on the port side.
We see eye to eye
Oh eye to eye
The blues and I.

We see eye to eye
Oh eye to eye
The blues and I.

From the album, Everything is Moving, Borealis Records (BCD224), Canada, 2013. Genre: Folk, World, & Country.[2]
