Distant Blue

Well, you're bound to be right
Mos' half of the time
You may think that I might
But I tell you, now
I'm not spending my sorry life that way
Not today
Sitting in a burnt-out fluorescent light café
Hear what I say
Some days I feel better than others
You and I were never meant to be lovers
Still and all, it's what's said and done
Oh, come back, baby
Don't leave, don't go
Don't draw the curtain on the midnight show
Don't change the channel on the radio
Don't think for a moment I don't love you so
Oh, no
That's not what I mean
Have some more caffeine
Wash those worries out the door
Just like before--
Some days I feel better than others
You and I were never meant to be lovers
Still and all, it's what's said and done
Oh, come back, baby
Don't leave, don't go
Don't draw the curtain on the midnight show
Don't change the channel on the radio
Don't think for a moment I don't
Wonder why this is the only
Time I'm lonely
When you're gone
I thought it was because I'm crazy
With or without anyone
But I was wrong
Some days I feel better than others
You and I were never meant to be lovers
Still and all, it's what's said and done
Oh, come back, baby
Don't leave, don't go
Don't draw the curtain on the midnight show
Don't change the channel on the radio
Don't think for a moment I don't love you so
But that ain't all the whole story
It's just the way that I feel
It's kinda complicated
Like a Pullman operator on a steep incline
Still I know your mine
Half of the time
Some days I feel better than others
You and I were never meant to be lovers
Still and all, it's what's said and done
Oh, come back, baby
Don't leave, don't go
Don't draw the curtain on the midnight show
Don't change the channel on the radio
Don't think for a moment I don't
Harbor thoughts of azure hue
Thinking 'bout the time I first met you
Back when we was less than new
I fell in love with distant blue
My distant blue
Distant blue
I'm in love with you
