DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE
Seems like it was yesterday, like our lives had just slipped way
We talked about the old times we both knew
As I searched your face for signs gone if not forgotten times
Behind the lines of laughter lay the clue
Your eyes had turned a deeper shade of blue
The neon cowboy
“I especially wanted to thank Gilbert Egdell and CBS Records for giving me a break to make this record. Also wanted to thank God for Single Highland Matt Whisky”
