this is a simple acoustic guitar song, I think there's a tape recording of it somewhere, but it hasn't been released on any album. I like the idea behind it though, so at some point I might try to do a full arrangement and record a new track.
A Quiet Shade of Blue (acoustic mix)
Date: 01/20/1996
Once upon a time
We were young
And everything was simple
Pure and joyful in our lives
A day would last forever
'Cause we would never let tomorrow
Be a burden on our minds
But now somehow
Time has taken toll
Like the blackness of the night
And by your side
Falling behind
A race we never knew had begun
As you try to ascribe
Your relation to the world
Balance life upon your nose
And though you line your life
With silk and satin
Those around you
Suffocate your pride
And so I leave to you
A quiet shade of blue
A part of me to carry with you...
