Brighter Than the Blues - Joan Shelley

Got to leave this house, go swiftly out

I’ve been lying around till noon

Till the fear comes on

That I might have fallen

Honey, I think of you

The winter’s calling loudly now

I believe it’ll be here soon

And it won’t be kind

It’ll rule me with shadows

Turning my gold to blue

Go away, go away you poison loves

For you I have no use

I can sleep alone

Many a night I’ve gone

Never to think of you

Well, the leaves have fallen

The season’s passed

I’ll go west, or someplace new

Where the lights are low

So the stars can glow

Brighter than the blues
