Falling Down Blue

Song Notes:
"A heartbroken jazz ballad. The setting for the song is Greg's farm and the details are kind of borrowed from circumstances that were around me. Sometimes I think what you do as a songwriter is witness a scene... maybe you see something at an airport... let's say you see two people saying goodbye to each other and for the next hour or two you live in that scene and for me, sometimes, we worked a lot at Greg's farm and it's a very open air beautiful setting... certain things happened there that I think really had an emotional impact on me... and so, I again co-opted the details of someone else's life and put them into a song." - Jim Cuddy
Lyrics
Everyone tells me I'm lucky
Got my whole life to live yet
I can't say they're wrong
But the days seem so long
Living inside of my head
Maybe I'll get some relief now
Now that your things are all gone
I won't sit here staring
At nothing all night
Bleary-eyed greeting the dawn
(chorus)
All right I miss you tonight
And I'm not really sure what to say
It keeps rolling in like a slow moving train
It gets harder and harder each day
Each time I think that the worst of it's through
I am stopped in my tracks by some vision of you
All right I miss you tonight
I admit that I'm falling down blue
She lived outside of the city
On days when I'd visit her there
I'd watch her out dancing
All lit by the moon
The cold winds of time in her hair
Then we'd go driving for hours
Turn off the lights and just glide
Moving like spirits
Along through the night
The light through the trees as our guide
(chorus)
Appears On
