Pretty Sings The Blues

from Spaces Erases (fdm128) by Chris Anderson

lyrics

this photograph
this real time laugh
sitting on the porch out in the rain
this living thing
this siren sings
glowing like a torch
i'm here again

pretty sings the blues under the sky on this island
pretty sings the blues, oh my

this kind of thing
it makes me sing
of everything i want it all to be
and still it's here
i'll hold it dear
until it all comes crashing down on me

pretty sings the blues under the sky on this island
pretty sings the blues, oh my

sing it to the birds and the breeze
sing it to the mountain in front of me
sing it to the fire and the freeze
sing it just to be, sing it just to be

i thought about taking out
everything i built inside my maze
and then it struck
man, what the fuck
it's gonna stay the same for all my days

pretty sings the blues under the sky on this island
pretty sings the blues, oh my
