Big Blue Note

See that big blue note

Over there on the counter

You don't want to read that thing, man

It's a real 'get you down'er

But don't you dare say

Nothin' else bad about her

She's gone

No no no, no, no, don't throw it away

'Cause tonight I might need it

It gets real lonely around here at night sometimes

And I have to reread it

Besides, you show it to the boys downtown

They won't believe that

She's gone

See that big blue note

Over there on the counter

You don't want to read that thing, man

It's a real 'get you down'er

But don't you dare say

Nothin' else bad about her

She's gone

There used to be a time

I was all she ever wanted

All the man that she'll ever need

I come home to find

Just like that, she's up and vanished

And the only thing she left behind for me

Is this big blue note

Folded up in my pocket

Yeah, don't laugh

It's been two months

I still got it

Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice

Just to make sure I ain't forgot that

She's gone

You know, my psychiatrist said

'Tell me what do you see

When you look at these ink spots

Of reds and yellows and greens

You know, I looked at 'em all

But they all looked to me like

Big blue notes

See that big blue note

Over there on the counter

You don't want to read that thing, man

It's a real 'get you down'er

But don't you dare say

Nothin' else bad about her

She's gone

Stand high on this cliff

Overlookin' the sea

With my big blue note paper airplane

That I just set free

And I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes

And if it don't come back to me, huh

You guessed it

She's gone

Tag

Crash landin'

Bye bye, baby
