Love In Blue - Justin Cayce

I listen every evening

To songs both old and new

Hoping to hear some words to say to you

But I never found the right ones

 -- Nothing sounded true

Until I wrote to you in midnight blue

I've heard the cheeky hip-hop pop

That mix bad words with dance

An' I have seen the disco floors

Where people move in trance

I've heard the city cowboys

Sing a long lost love lament

An' I've been with rockin' rebels

Rolling out their discontent

I've seen the bangled buskers sell

Their plastic hearts for gold

An' I've known a  dusky minstrelle

Curse the passion in her soul

While croonin' tunes of misty moons

Until  the tears get overdue

An' I see the face I can't erase

An' all my thoughts return to you

I've heard the songs that say the words

" I gotta leave you, babe "

As if a shadow of true love

Could forever masquerade

So where's the words I'm listening for

To make you love me too?

The words to cut you like I'm cut

To show you love in blue…

  I listen every evening

To songs both old and new

It's dangerous and so unwise

To dwell upon your face and eyes

An' talk to you when day is through

Forever seeking words more true

But I don't know what else to do

To hold onto the memory

Of you ―  my love in blue
