Lyrics

A Blacker Shade of Blue

Here in my heart is a big empty space
Not gonna make it I’m losing the race
My feet are shuffling down an old avenue
And I get so lonely, thinking of you

It cold and its cloudy, starting to rain
I can’t even feel it I just feel the pain
Trouble in mind is just nothing new
I think that I found me a blacker shade of blue

I have some good days, remembering when
But now that I’ve lost you I’m outside again
I don’t ask why ‘cause nothing is true
I think that I found me a blacker shade of blue

Evening lasts so long
Still singing that sad old song
I’m in a bad storm and I don’t have a sail
I can’t go on living, but that’s just as well

Here in my heart is a big empty space
Not gonna make it I’m losing the race
My feet are shuffling down an old avenue
And I get so lonely thinking of you
I think that I found me a blacker shade of blue
