I never looked behind me

Never saw the shadows smile

Never watched the red light warning

All I wanted was to be in touch with you.


Took a chance on inner healing.

Said it was the way to go

Find a way to make you happy

Can't do it, never could but what a show

Oh, no.


I look to you, you look to me

It's all the same, just one big game

You say it's me, I say it's you

You touched my love, with Shades of Blue


But maybe now

When you lose control

You'll see what I could give,

Trapped inside your heart,

I'm dyin' to live.


One man without a mission

Like an eagle, flying slow

I wanted to kiss the blue sky,

But all the clouds were hanging far too low.


And then one day, I looked away,

Into the air, the Lord was there.

He broke the sky, the sun flew by,

I died for you, Shades of Blue.


But maybe now

When you lose control

You'll see what I could give,

Trapped inside your heart,

I'm dyin' to live.


And if the moon is bright

The stars would all kiss you,

The colors of my heart

Are Shades of Blue.


But maybe now

When you lose control

You'll see what I could give,

Trapped inside your heart,

I'm dyin' to live.


When you lose control

You'll see what I could give,

Trapped inside your heart,

I'm dyin' to live, dyin' to live.

Dyin' to live.
