Change Direction in the Blue Lyrics by Deep Chatham

Words from the Well

2011

[Verse 1]
Sleepin' Tom ghost tricklin' down the avenue
And weepin' where he walked with you
And nights were longer
Everyone was calmer then and everyone ya'll knew were friends
Still, doubt came creepin'
Well, when I held it long enough
To see them through until no one's rusted
Sleepin' Tom soul tricklin' down the avenue
Resolves to change direction in the blue
[Chorus]
He cries: no one cared!
No onе listened!
Now that I'm harmfully broke down with shit-grinnin' friеnds
Who will wait?
Who will witness?
So that it's obvious I'm leavin' no trace behind?
Hope you're right
'Less you're greedy
See, I got it all worked out way out a' here
Hope it's time
Won't be needing
To resort to the method that pride's left behind
I'll sleep 'til I've died
[Verse 2]
Headin' westward
Well Tom goes 'round, knows everyone
And some might say that he's lost his worth
But some just listen
Well, they hear every word he sings
And others see what's in between
And eyes read empty
Tom just plays it off, but his direction it is all the way
He's disappearin'
And then once they find he had left, their sleepin' Tom no longer idle
[Chorus]
They're cryin': he don't care!
He never listened!
Now that we're harmfully broke down with nothin' to show
He couldn't wait
Or bear to witness
It's such a devious, reckless, and safe [?]
Hope you're right
Hope you're happy
Now that we're out here just dyin' to give life a try
Maybe not
Maybe just sit here
Maybe I'm miles out the door leavin' no trace behind
Maybe I'll sleep 'til I've died
[Verse 3]
Sleepin' Tom ghost tricklin' down the avenue
And weepin' where he walked with you
And nights all haunt him
And everything he feels when lookin' back don't feel as real as when he's
Past on by you
To give you what you wanted, though you thought he'd never offer
What a shallow habit
Well, no one knows how cursed it is to always change direction in the blue
