Blue Porch Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Took the long way home Past the empty bins Past the shuttered store And the creek with the thin, dark skin You were up above Like a tear in rain Falling from the sky Softening the pain [Pre-Chorus] And I kept looking up Like you knew my name Shades of blue on blue Pulling me the same [Chorus] Shades of blue Shades of blue You fell right through And I held the bruise Shades of blue Shades of blue Falling to you On the long way home [Verse 2] The screen door sighed When I came back in Mud on my cuffs And a quiet grin Your shadow stayed In the window glass Like a second moon I couldn't pass [Pre-Chorus] And I kept looking up Through the afterglow Shades of blue on blue Only I would know [Chorus] Shades of blue Shades of blue You fell right through And I held the bruise Shades of blue Shades of blue Falling to you On the long way home [Bridge] If the sky comes low I’ll still stay here In the wash of light In the salt of tears [Final Chorus] Shades of blue Shades of blue You fell right through And I held the bruise Shades of blue Shades of blue Falling to you On the long way home
