You've heard these words because they're written on my face
Like they were carved in stone that time cannot erase.
What secrets lie behind an awful shade of blue ? 
In a place of reckoning I keep returning to.
And we return back to the place where words belong, in an awful shade of blue.
I sit and listen to an awful shade of blue, 
And through the creeping dust that I am listening to 
Are the words that I once loved and meant the world to me. 
But they are only now a distant memory. 
And we return back to a place where words belong, in an awful shade of blue. 
There's no sense in cryin', it is only a shade of blue.
