Blue All Over
by Michael Roe

Album: The Boat Ashore

I'm blue all over
Blue is what I'm feelin' without you
The moon, the cheese, the sky, they ask me why
I walk alone
I'm talkin' to myself
I'm not myself
I'm cold
I'm ice cold frozen blue
'Cause there's no you

I'm feeling what I'm feeling
'Cause I'm reeling in the catch
I caught the cold
Outside the fold I stand a lonely man
I failed in love
I'm giving up
I chased it long
I held it strong
It slipped, I tripped, I stumbled, fell
It's swelling up
It's hell

So could it be
The only one I ever loved was me?
I would not pay the price
The sacrafice was dear
I feared, I coward, I ran
I thought the plan could save me
But I lost the cause, the point
The self-made man

She held the key to me
I knew it then
I was not free to be
The one I knew I was inside
I had to hide
And when she left I could not disconnect
The talk went on the phone
Infection spread the bad connection that we had
I'm needing you I know
It shows it's all over my face
Disgrace I wear without a trace
A place to call my home
And so the color blue
Is what I wear without you
I can't believe you leave
The blues all over me
