How Long to Sky Blue? Rayletha

'How many days to sky blue
how deep is down under,
I wonder' she said
'What is up
because I have only seen different shades of misery.
When you call me I answer to 'never me'
because it is never me.
Never chosen, never loved, never given nothing.

Fat, female, black, no schooling, betrayed, lonely
every day in person and on the television
I am told I am the least of the least,
stereotyped, misused on sight and despised.

In me resides all the things they hate about themselves
on their inside
they is terrorized that if they don't eat their peas they will end up like me
and I say what is so wrong with me?

I am a human being
I am sky blue on the inside
and no one knew or knows
how my day is going;
no one cares
sometimes not even me.

Most years I even get no census mail
cause no need to count me.

Love to me is mostly in a dime store novel.
I am most comfortable with hateful people
because they act out what I feel inside.
Don't come trying to comfort me and tell me things
will be swell.
Things ain't never gonna be swell for me.
Never me.
I climb from my bed each day
knowing that nothing will never change.
I will not get no love letters today
no new car, no new dress,
no smiles from strangers,
no pats on the back
and no real job
no tiny piece even of hope
gonna come and sit beside me
even for just a little while.

How long to blue sky for me?
No telling.

I may be nothing here,
and I may be last here
but I will be first in the hereafter,
that is what Jesus said.
'The last shall be first
and that is me.'

That's what he said.
and I believe
he gonna
bring me
my sky blue
and I,
I won't be blue
no more.

Blue Me

Blue me, blue me
Blue is the color
That fits best on me
Im blue
Just as blue as can be
Blue me, blue me
I cry
And I die
I lie awake at night
And I question why
Must it be
I can never be free
Blue me, blue me
My heart is heavy
But its empty inside
No one to love me
Or to lay down beside
Im blue
The queen of sorrow
Wears royal blue
My luck aint changin
Is it ever goin to
Im blue, oh Im blue
Why must I wear this robe of blue misery
Blue me, blue me
Ooh
This sad old feeling
Is breakin me down
No satisfaction with these blues hangin round
Lord, Im blue
Oh, Im so blue
Why cant I shake it tell me where will this end
When will I get out of this blue rut Im in
Oh, Im blue
Looks like the blues just took a liking to me
Blue me, blue me
Blue me, blue me
Blue is the color that fits best on me
Ooooh, Im blue
Im just as blue as can be
Blue me,
Blue me

Am I Blue

Chorus:
Am I blue
Yes Im blue
It started the day I lost you
Nobody ever loved somebody like I do
Am I blue
Am I blue
Just this mornin
Over coffee
I sat there cryin
Cause youre gone long gone
I didnt know just how much
I was gonna miss you
Till I spent my first night alone
Am I blue
Yes Im blue
How could I have been such a fool
Now look at all the misery Im going through
Am I blue
Am I blue
Tried to call and say Im sorry
I couldnt get you on the line
Youll never know just how much
Im wishin you would show up
And say youve changed your mind

Ocean Blue

Well you took me home
And you took me back
But deep down inside
The feeling just died and i
Couldnt see why
From indigo to royal blue
I travel far but no one will do
Anytime, anyplace
Every shape every face
Brings memories of you
Blue to be blue
To be blue
Ocean blue
Blue to be blue
To be blue
Ocean blue - ocean blue
Fair weather friends might drift away
When summer ends and skies burn grey
So I walk to the ocean
Pilot these shores
Just thinking of you
Its time we kissed the clouds goodbye
From now on its strictly blue sky
Come rain and shine
The outlook is still fine
Im thinking of you
Blue to be blue
To be blue
Ocean blue
Blue to be blue
To be blue
Ocean blue - ocean blue
Blue to be blue
To be blue
Ocean blue, ocean blue
Ocean blue, ocean blue
Ocean blue, ocean blue
Ocean blue, ocean ocean
Ocean, ocean
Blue to be blue
To be blue
Ocean blue
Blue to be blue
To be blue
Ocean blue - ocean blue
I stand at the head of the queue
Theres mutinys every crew
Wishin and wonderin bout you
Ocean blue

Blue

yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to
i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...
i have a blue house with a blue window.
blue is the colour of all that i wear.
blue are the streets and all the trees are too.
i have a girlfriend and she is so blue.
blue are the people here that walk around,
blue like my corvette, it's standing outside.
blue are the words i say and what i think.
blue are the feelings that live inside me.
i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

Millers Angels

Millers angels in black and white
Welcome everyone in
Children dreaming of wrong and right
Wrapped in grace and in sin
They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where theyre gonna go
Hey romeo
Millers fingers are traveling down the length of her thigh
But millers mind is still wandering
Staring up at the sky
They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where theyre gonna go
Hey romeo
Dont, dont come around here
Millers angels are hovering in between the earth and the sun
In the shadow of gods unwavering love
I am a fortunate son
They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where theyre gonna go

mind fillin blues...by Talile Ali

i'm pointing my fingers
everyones at fault
the world is against me
locked deep inside this vault

keeping me down
got me feeling sad and blue
with this messed up inside killing'
i got those mind-filling' blue's

completely delusional
totally insane
thinking things are happening
but it's all inside my brain

keeping me down
got me feeling sad and blue
with this messed up inside killing'
i got those mind-filling' blue's

believe that you love me
in your very own way
it doesn't really matter
because with me that's ok

keeping me down
got me feeling sad and blue
with this messed up inside killing'
i got those mind-filling' blue's

these messed up feelings
inside and blue
because i didn't have the sense
not to fall in love with you

keeping me down
got me feeling sad and blue
with this messed up inside killing'
i got those mind-filling' blue's

Light Of A Clear Blue Morning

Its been a long dark night
And Ive been a waitin for the morning
Its been a long hard fight
But I see a brand new day a dawning
Ive been looking for the sunshine
cause I aint seen it in so long
But everythings gonna work out just fine
Everythings gonna be all right
Thats been all wrong
cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everythings gonna be all right
Its gonna be okay
Its been a long long time
Since Ive known the taste of freedom
And those clinging vines
That had me bound, well I dont need em
cause I am strong and I can prove it
And I got my dreams to see me through
Its just a mountain, I can move it
And with faith enough theres nothing I cant do
And I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And I can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everythings gonna be all right
Its gonna be okay
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everythings gonna be all right
Everythings gonna be all right
Everythings gonna be all right
Its gonna be okay
cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everythings gonna be all right
Its gonna be okay
I can see the light
I can see the light
Its gonna be all right
Its gonna be all right
Repeat...

Tall Trees In A Blue Sky

(jack hues)
Tall trees in a blue sky
Stand together dont ask why
Stretch up to the blue sky
Pierce that ceiling if you try
You say these feelings do not last
Well I am gonna prove you wrong
You say our futures in the past
But I am gonna turn you on
Bright leaves in the sunshine
Pick me up when I feel down
Deep freeze if we don try
Seems like we go round and round
You say a dream will not last
Well I am gonna prove you wrong
You say our futures in the past
But I am gonna turn you on
Chorus:
You and me could last forever
If only we could stand together like
Tall trees in a blue sky
Like tall trees in a blue sky
Its a deep freeze if we dont try
Big man in a blue tie
Tells you things must be this way
Tall tree when the man dies
Havent heard a word he say
You say these feelings do not last
Well I am gonna prove you wrong
You say our futures in the past
But I am gonna turn you on
I am gonna turn you on
I am gonna turn you on
I am gonna turn you on
You and me could last forever
If only we could stand together like
Tall trees in a blue sky
Its a deep freeze if we dont try
Like tall trees in a blue sky
Its a deep freeze when the bombs fly

Blue Skies Bring Tears

Unleash the armageddon
So all the children go to heaven
I sit by quiet still
With their pictures on my eyes
You'll draw the guns your given
Write down the words as written
And never disturb the presense
Of resurrection touch

And it's about time
It's about drawing near
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears

Descend the darkened stairway
Make hate with plastic playmates
And fire out remaining traces
Of your self esteem
Mainline the deepest secrets
Lick clean the dirty fingers
I am a stranger to you
As you are to yourself

And it's about time
It's about fear
Blue skies bring tears
Don't you want me (don't want you)
Cause I await cityside
We'll watch the seas start to die

Blue skies bring tears
Take me inside your body
Blue skies bring tears
Cover me with your soul
Blue skies bring tears
To the darkest reasons
Blue skies bring tears
Is where I wish to go
Blue skies bring tears
You are the sweetest flower
Blue skies bring tears
That I have ever devoured
Blue skies bring tears
I ask for nothing given
Blue skies bring tears
For nothing in return
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears

Blue skies bring tears

How Much I Lied

Darling, there is one thing I must tell you, you must know
Its so hard to say the words I feel
This fancy that Im ons been going on too long
Its time to stop pretending things are real
cause Ive been living deep in sin, Ive been living blind
And I just dont know whats right or wrong
To take a chance on losing you is such a silly thing to do
A chance I might wake up and find you gone
Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue
Any private flame could be a lie
Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you
But I know Ill only make you cry
A thief can only steal from you
He cannot break your heart
He can never touch the precious things inside
Someone like you should surely be
Miles and miles away from me
Then youd never care how much I lied
So try to understand the pain
It takes so long when I explain
Please dont you forget how much I lied
How much I lied

Blue Bayou

I feel so bad Ive got a worried mind
Im so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun dont shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou
Im going back some day come what may to blue bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy Id be
Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe Id be happy then on blue bayou
Im going back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou
Oh, that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin inside
Ill never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou

New Orleans Wins The War

Dont remember much about my baby days,
But I been told
We used to live on willow near the garden district
Next to the sugar bowl
Momma used to wheel me past an ice cream wagon
One side for white and one side for colored
I remember trash cans floatin down canal street
It rained every day one summer
Momma used to take me to audubon park
Show me the ways of the world
She said, here comes a white boy, there goes a black one,
That ones an octoroon
This little cookie heres a macaroon, that big round things
A red balloon
And the paper down heres called the picayune
And heres a new orleans tune
In 1948 my daddy came to the city
Told the people that theyd won the war
Maybe theyd heard it, maybe not
Probably theyd heard it and just forgot
cause they built him a platform there in jackson square
And the people came to hear him from everywhere
They started to party and they partied some more
cause new orleans had won the war
(we knew wed do it, we done whipped the yankees)
Daddy said, Im gonna get this boy out of this place
Bound to sap his strength
People have fun here, and I think that they should
But nobody from here every come to no good
Theyre gonna pickle him in brandy and tell him hes saved
Then throw fireworks all round his grave
So he took us down to the airport, and flew us back to l.a.
That was the end of my baby days
Blue blue morning, blue blue day
All your bad dreams drift away
Its a blue blue morning, of a blue blue day
Lose those bad dreams
Those gray clouds above you, what you want them around
With you for?
You got someone to love you
Who could ask for more?
Its a blue blue morning, of a blue blue day
All your bad dreams drift away

Hey baby, what you gonna do
When the lights go up on you
What's your name,
Can I drive you home
Sweet woman, are you all alone
You're the one for me
I'm gonna keep you busy as a bee,
Could be, could be
Rat bat blue
Now, get up woman, don't be slow
It's getting late and I wanna go
No cause for acting big
Got to love, got to live
Stick around with me
I'm gonna show you things
You'd never thought you'd see
You see
Rat bat blue
You're so fine
Get out! You didn't understand
I'm a hard loving man
No way you can satisfy
The way you look, the way you lie
And when you shut the door
Make sure I don't see you
'Round here no more
Rat bat blue
Alright

Hate 2 Luv U

It was the wrong day
The wrong month
The wrong year
I wasnt ready for all the pain and all the tears
Baby you crushed me
Now I have to deal in the worst fears
You had to go and take it there
Now im all alone
Knew I should have took my ass home
Times when you were putting it on me
You were putting it on me
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
Thought I could change u
And turn u into a good man
Thought my love was bond
And things were going as I planned
But what a fool I was
U was still hitting your ex-girlfriend
I had to be out you understand
Now im all alone
Knew I should have took my ass home
Times when you were putting it on me
You were putting it on me
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
Wish that (wish that things were different)
Wish that things were different
(that you would love me the way that I love you) the way that I love you
(cant believe you hurt me babe) cant believe
(and do me this way)
(I hate to love you cant let go)
Now im all alone
Knew I should have took my ass home
Times when you were putting it on me
You were putting it on me
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
I just hate u for it

So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it

Have You Ever Been Lonely? (Have You Ever Been Blue?)

Have you ever been lonely, have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone just as I love you
Can't you see I'm sorry for each mistake I've made
Can't you see I've changed dear, can't you see I've paid?

Be a little forgiving, take me back in your heart
How can I go on living now that we're apart
If you knew what I've been through you would know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely, have you ever been blue?

(Have you ever been lonely, have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone just as I love you)
If you knew what I've been through you would know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely, have you ever been blue?

Have you ever been lonely, have you ever been blue?

Maybe, someday, yeah love will come
And stay, and things will turn
How bright, oh oh oh but for tonight
