All shades of blue lyrics Gregory Alan Isakov

All shades of blue

when the wine stops working
and you're all run out
and all of your hopes have all headed south

and the song left the stable
and they never came home
and there ain't no forgetting
that you're out on you're own

when they cut down the cottonwoods
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 60 watt bulb in my house
it was darkened for days
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

when the horseflies are biting
but the fish never do
when your heart's a thousand colours
but they're all shades of blue

broken bottles shine
just like stars make a wish anyway
just your smile
lit a 60 watt bulb in my house
it was darkened for days
been thinking you probably should stay
yeah i think that you probably should stay

and our dreams on the window sill
see those trees turning gold in the hills
