Something Blue Lyrics by Alejandro Escovedo

The Crossing

2018

[Verse 1]
The wind took my friend away
Blew away yesterday
The government lies, children die
They still won't appeal the court
Is there money to be made
Off the people's parade
Selling broken hearts outside the door?

[Chorus]
So I'll write something blue
A melody I'll play for you
I'll sing
Yes, I'll sing
Something blue

[Verse 2]
You claim the victory
Like a hurricane memory
St. James is hanging in the breeze
We turned another cheek
In velvet armor sheets
We sing for the workers of tomorrow

[Chorus]
So I'll write
Something blue
A melody I'll play for you
I'll sing
Yes, I'll sing
Something blue

[Bridge]
Nobody wants you
Something blue
Maybe you'll turn to
Something blue
Maybe they'll see
What the people need today
Let's everybody say
Hey, hey

[Verse 3]
Now they're smoking Rainy Day
The magpie's flown away
Searching for love lost along the way
If this begin, it has no end
Let the one man band begin
There's always time to tell another story

[Chorus]
So I'll write
Something blue
A melody I'll play for you
I'll sing
Yes, I'll sing
Something blue

[Outro]
Something blue
Something blue
Oh, I'll sing for you
Yes, something blue
I'll sing for you
Yeah, sing blue
Something blue
