Big Blue Note

See that big blue note over there on the counter
You don’t wanna read that thing man it’s a real getcha downer
But don’t you dare say nothing else, bad about her
Cause she’s gone
No, No, No, No don’t throw it away, cause tonight I might need it
It gets real lonley around here at night sometimes and I have to re-read it
Besides, you can show it to the boys down town they won’t believe that
She’s gone
CHORUS
There used to be a time, I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she’ll ever need
I come home to find, just like that she’s up and vanished,
And the only thing she left behind for me…
Is this big blue note, folded up in my pocket
Ya, don’t laugh it’s been two months, I still got it
Sometimes I gotta read the sucker twice just to make sure I ain’t forgotten that
She’s gone
You know my psychiatrist says, «Tell me what do you see, when you look at these
ink spots of reds, and yellows, and greens. I looked at 'em all, but,
they all look to me like big blue notes.»
CHORUS
There used to be a time, I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she’ll ever need
I come home to find, just like that she’s up and vanished,
And the only thing that’s left to do for me…
Is stand high on this cliff, overlookin' the sea
With my big blue note paper airplane that I just set free
I’m gonna wait here a few more minutes and if it don’t come back to me
You guessed it… She's gone
Crash landing
Bye bye baby!
