Hue of Blue Lyrics

Found myself on most days, on the wrong side of the tracks

Watchin' all the southbound moving trains

Wasting my time just trying to relax

While constantly going against life's grains

The lines of the tracks, they ran straight out of town

I always knew they would never meet

Optical illusions may confuse you and bring you down

To wrong conclusions, in the form of self conceit

On the palette of my life, from a painters point of view

Looking for the vanishing point, where I turned that page with you

Timeline's running straight, but the speed of light, it bends and burns

Coulda slowed it down a little, avoiding some wrong turns

Seeing myself, from where I stood, behind the mirror

Watching new lines running down my face

Wasting my time, trying hard to adhere

To those laws I broke, while in the state of grace

All my pictures, from a photographer's point of view

I'm lookin' for a way that I could stay in the frame with you

Timeline's running straight, but the speed of light, it bends and burns

Coulda slowed it down a little, by running straight uphill

Got a lifetime's supply of canvas and paint

And pictures of me that show someone I ain't

The paint that I'm using causes blues to bleed thru

And all of those pictures show me in a hue of blue
