Blue is the most common of colors
In nature and also for me
The background color for daytime
The whole planet from infinity
Even blackberries get the blues
Bluebells and butterflies
Mermaids, mist and the moon
Dragons, Easter eggs, eyes
When forget-me-nots bloom into you
In a blue lagoon in a dugout canoe
Dreaming of things you won’t do
Wondering what’s all the hullabaloo
When you’re feeling out of true
Like you’re held together with crazy glue
And you need a little tending to
Or maybe just a new tattoo
When blue feels like deja vu
Something you might grow into
In spite of the ocean view
Before it lays waste to you
Let go, let go
Watch it rise into the air
Until it’s just a speck
’Til you no longer see it there
Blue is the most common of colors
In nature and also for me
The background color for daytime
The whole planet from infinity

A Man Made Long Ago

He died on a train
From Milwaukee to Green Bay
He was only 48
When he got up on that train
A man made long ago
Proud man who rarely smiled
A man full of peace
And his way was mild
A few folks knew his name
But did they know his pain
When he got up on that train
And he was only 48
A treacherous ordinary day
Treacherous and ordinary as air
Trapped in the tick of the clock
Moments of bravado,... then despair
Gone in the blink of any eye
Gone in the blink of a wink
Fear like an illness
Driven to the brink
A man made long ago
Proud man who rarely smiled
A man full of peace
And his way was mild
He suffered once or twice
Nothing seemed bad since
Fallen into solitude
Hard bargains and regrets
He died on a train
From Milwaukee to Green Bay
He was only 48
When he got up on that train
A few folks knew his name
But did they know his pain
When he got up on that train
And he was only 48
He got up on that train
And he was only 48
