Shades of blue

There is always a good reason to cry
I can see it in the bottom of your eyes
you wanna cry
there is always a good reason to cry

There is always a good reason to go
where the stream of tears cover up
all of our fears
there is always a good reason to go

Wind and rain and wintertime again
again your eyes turn red and wet
will you make one of those questions
that nobody can answer
will you paint again those lonely shades of blue

There is always a good reason to lie
I can read it in your mind like happiness
in the eyes of a child
there is always a good reason to lie

Strange and awesome how the changin’ rhymes
affect the color of the sky
don’t make one of those questions
that nobody can answer
don’t paint again those lonely shades of blue

The well of human suffering is too deep to say in words
every day we struggle some
and then we dig some more
and there is always a good reason to cry

The ghosts of the past are reachin’ close behind
again our eyes reflect the sky
wind and rain and wintertime
and clouds a-walkin’ by
and always a good reason to cry

Don’t make one of those questions
that nobody can answer
don’t paint again those lonely shades of blue
