Lyrics
Half a Blue
williams/Ising © 2014
Verse l
A glass of whiskey aging on the hotel bathroom sink
a vintage year- a great one brewed last week
a wrinkled shirt that's clean enough
I pick up from the floor -a pair of jeans that God knows where they've been - what for
CHORUS
I got a half blue waitin' like a virgin at the door
the only untouched thing in this God forsaken place
I guard it where it sits - in the rear of the top drawer
a quarter inch of sanity in my case
a half of blue is callin' my name
half a blue is better than not havin' one at all
yesterdays new memory- not formed yet (still hazy) in tomorrow
broke in equal halves until I hear my sirens call
you think it's yours to heal the pain that you borrowed
CHORUS
a ton of of blues I carry but a half blue gets me by
in glaring sun and noise of people dyin'
half a blue rights the wrongs of day until the stage hand calls
another night song bout the shit I'm tryin'
chorus
