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
