Joan Shelley - Brighter Than The Blues Lyrics

Joan Shelley Lyrics

"Brighter Than The Blues"

Got to leave this house, go swiftly out
I've been lying around till noon
Till the fear comes on that I might have fallen
Honey, I think of you

Well, the winter's calling loudly now
I believe it'll be here soon
And it won't be kind
It'll rule me with shadows, turning my gold to blue

Go away, go away, you poison loves
For you, I have no use
I can sleep alone
Many a night I've gone, never to think of you

Well, the leaves have fallen, the season's passed
I'll go west, or someplace new
Where the lights are low
So the stars can glow brighter than the blues
