Every Shade of Blue

The last time that I saw you
 You were standing at the station
 A box of records at your feet
 And sheer determination
 To put a hole right through tomorrow
 To show 'em what you're made of
 Let 'em gather 'round for interviews
 When all your dreams are paid off
 Oh that's you
 Every shade of blue
 The last time that I saw you
 You spoke of revolution
 Of how you'd break the monarchy
 You'd beat the institution
 And the songs that you were writing
 Adorned in imperfection
 You balance words so beautifully
 I could feel your own reflection
 Oh that's you
 Every shade of blue
 Every shade of blue
 The last time that I saw you
 A shadow of the future
 You wore that hat your brother wore
 Though it never did quite suit ya
 It made your eyes too heavy
 And it made you seem so small
 Just the boy I used to love
 Who could never climb the wall
 Oh that's you
 Every shade of blue
 Every shade of blue
