Okay, I'll give it a shot...

Blues? My unroyal blood runs blue some days,
Blues? Grab my soul and squeeze till it hurt, I say,
I've had the "why", "when", "how" can't try no more blues
and the "chasing" "running" till I'm out of breath blues
Put the mask on and fake it but really can't shake it...blues.

Like a dog chasing it's tail, the blues chase me back and I'm blue.

Today, I can choose, and rewrite the blues
till they turn into sky and water and I am amused
To recolour the blues....when I choose....to look at the blues.
Cut down to size, they can be quite the prize...those blues.

Now this ain't a great song, but don't get me wrong if you're blue,
So what can you do?
Come to SR and sing, it's a beautiful thing, if you're blue, you can get through,
And light can shine through, and outshine the blue for me and for you,
When you're blue.

Phewww. I'm through...think this just may do...to chase the blue.
