lyrics

I stand where the light can hit me.
Where the light can lift me up.
Cause I know that when the night comes,
With it’s deepest, darkest, lonesome
Blue
I’ll think of you.

In my old bandana,
You wore it all the time.
And I left it in your open hands
When I left our love behind.
It was blue,
Blue as time.

I loved you more than I have ever loved a home.
It really wasn’t you, babe,
I just had to walk alone.

The blue of distance is calling me on.
Calling me on.

Will you stand where the light can hit you?
Where the light can lift you up?
So I know that, when the night comes,
With it’s deepest darkest lonesome
Blue,
You’ll be seeing it too.

It was that blue of distance
That carried me on.
Carried me on.
