Blue Skies

When I first met you there were blue skies

Flowers bloomed and silvery moons hung in the sky

Rose tinted glasses covered my eyes

I knew I loved you and did not know why

You went and left me for another

A shock that came out of the blue

I thought I was your only lover

I can’t believe that we’re now through

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

 

When we got married all our friends said

We were the couple that was meant to be

We laughed, we danced, we celebrated,

I was so happy that my heart was free

But now my heart is torn and broken

It lays in tatters all around

Ripped apart by all the lies you’s spoken

Shattered, it’s been trampled to the ground

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

 

When our first child was born you cried that that night

You were so happy you could hardly speak

I was so proud to see you hold him tight

You looked so strong, but really you were weak

Too weak to reject their advances

Too weak to use a word like, ‘no’

Too weak to reject furtive glances

I wish you didn’t have to go

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

 

It’s been five years now since you left me

Once more the sun is shining in the sky

The pain is just a distant memory

Now I’ve gone and fallen for another girl

One who wants the love I have to offer

Who overlooks the things that I do wrong

Someone who will fill my life with laughter

Who I can rely on to be strong

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

Blue Skies was one of my earlier attempts at songwriting. It draws on experiences from my life while imagining what it would be like if everything went wrong. – Paul
