That shade of blue

Archie trips up, going round the bend, gets back up again,

And then he see’s the tear in you.

Crushed all his pills, said his cheerio’s, to all his foes,

Never felt that shade of blue.

Archie gives up, turned the brightness down, invited darkness round

And then he see’s the fear in you.

Got in the car, turned on the radio, was set for go

Never felt that shade of blue.

Archie wakes up, at his tethers end, without a friend,

And then he see’s the need in you.

Says it is close, walls are closing in, had his thick and thin,

Never felt that shade of blue.

Archie looks up, heavenly, and on his way

Demons take him from your view

Lost but free, life transferred, pain deferred

No longer feels that shade of blue
