Sometimes Blue

When the moon is up and shining

On the fields a long time bright

Where the crops one time grew

There's a black and gold horizon

Through the trees in the purple moonlight

Welcome to what you knew

There's a place inside the shadows where the stillness

Covers up a night so blue

And it traps the lonely whirlwind there and hides it

From view

In the idle some grow restless

And imagine something more right

Sometimes don't think it through

So they saddle up the ponies and they ride off into the night

One time more, sometimes blue

Sometimes then the only colors they can dream of

Double back and catch a few

Of the crazy moonlight dragons they've been chasing

Through the hills

Now the mist is growing thicker

And it's getting harder to play

Sometimes now mostly true

So they gather 'round the fire and they lie the time away

Sometimes blue, sometimes blue

There's a place inside the shadows where the stillness

Covers up a night so blue

And it traps the lonely whirlwind there and hides it

From view
