Lyrics Brighter Than the Blues - Joan Shelley

Brighter Than the Blues

Got to leave this house, go swiftly out
I’ve been lying around till noon
Till the fear comes on
That I might have fallen
Honey, I think of you
The winter’s calling loudly now
I believe it’ll be here soon
And it won’t be kind
It’ll rule me with shadows
Turning my gold to blue
Go away, go away you poison loves
For you I have no use
I can sleep alone
Many a night I’ve gone
Never to think of you
Well, the leaves have fallen
The season’s passed
I’ll go west, or someplace new
Where the lights are low
So the stars can glow
Brighter than the blues
