Melancholy Blue

Lyrics: Ronnie.W Music: Ronnie.W Arranger: Ronnie.W I cast off lines from the wooden pier The mainland's murmur disappears This little boat, a walnut shell Takes on the waves and bears me well The compass needle starts to spin A silent, slow and lazy din... And the tide's unspooling all my thoughts like thread Letting the current take the things I've left unsaid Mapping the stars into words I never said They float on the surface inside of my head The horizon line, a blurry seam I'm half awake inside a dream A passing whale, a shadow deep Brings up a secret I should keep Or one I've lost along the way And offered to the salt and spray The gulls they cry a faint refrain It starts to sound like my own name... Letting the current take the things I've left unsaid Mapping the stars into words I never said They float on the surface inside of my head Is this where the edges soften and give? Where a single, quiet moment can live The sea is dreaming... And I am too... Just feeling the blue...
