Your Greatest Shade of Blue

Your innocence has gone
Oh you have lost your sense of wonder
Embraced you as you shone
But tore your child-like world asunder

The led you on and on but they
Didn't mean to do you wrong

Darling

It's your greatest shade of blue
Lose it before it bleeds right through
So much more than you can do
I'm counting on you

Now your mother's stately crown
Slips to show just what she's thinking
While your daddy's losing ground
Can't believer his ship is sinking

They pushed you on and on
Then asked just where did we go wrong

If you run now please don't look behind
Send them flowers explaining this is the way it was meant to be

Darling

It's your greatest shade of blue
Lose it before it bleeds right through
Trade it in for something new
I'm counting on you

It's your greatest shade of blue
Lose it before it bleeds right through
So much more than you can do
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
