Chris Maxwell - The Song Turns Blue Lyrics

It all starts with some small thing
Like a goddamn bird with a song to sing
But one note sounds off to you
This is how the song turns blue

Then you feel the ground beneath you roll
Like a wave of heartbreak in your soul
You're desperate nothing to do
This is how the song turns blue

It flows through everything
A rumble or a whispering
Tangled up in brackish green
I make my own color scheme
So I can keep my heart beating

And the one-eyed judge flips the bird
As the cries for justice go unheard
Our leaders sound disturbed to you
This is how the song turns blue

And you hold a gun to the farmer's head
So seeds of greed are grown instead
Instead of love so much to lose
This is how the song turns blue

Ignorance is an empty well
Where the dream we once shared fell
The hearts that know this to be true
Were the first to turn the song deep blue

I went up to the Tower of Song
I went inside but everyone was gone
Just a blue raincoat some blue suede shoes
I sat and watched the moon turn blue

It all starts with some small thing
A rumble or a whispering
Clear your throat listen for the cue
And sing along as the song turns blue
