All Shades of Blue

When the wine stops working and you're all run out
 And all of your high hopes have all headed south
 And the songs left the stable and they never came home
 And there ain't no forgetting that you're out on your own
 ♪
 Turned the scrub oaks to timber and you're left without friends
 And you don't put your book down even after it ends
 Smoke curls up from the table in your quiet little room
 And your heart's worn the handle of an old pushing broom
 
 Broken bottles shine just like stars, make a wish, anyway
 Just your smile lit a sixty-watt bulb in my house that was darkened for days
 I been thinking you probably should stay
 ♪
 When the going is long gone and the kick drum won't kick
 When you fumble with your fiddle and you're fresh out of tricks
 And the horseflies are biting but the fish never do
 And your heart's a thousand colors, but they're all shades of blue
 
 Broken bottles shine just like stars, make a wish, anyway
 Just your smile lit a sixty-watt bulb in my house that was darkened for days
 I been thinking you probably should stay
 Yeah, I think that you probably should stay
 ♪
 And our dreams on the windowsill
 See those trees turning gold in the hills
