Brighter Than Blue

I come bearing gifts to myself One-dollar coffee and a smoke for my health Walk around Fremantle at 9am Doctor's appointment and then A text to a friend with no reply It's been a month and I don't know why Sunglasses on, and sometimes a grey sky Is brighter than blue Is brighter than blue Does that mean Anything to you An old man in a white cap Sings Bob Dylan on the street and I clap I've got no change and I feel bad I slip away when he turns his back Then walk to the Ferris wheel, its carriages are empty They spin quicker when they feel less heavy I wish I could relate, but sometimes a grey sky Is brighter than blue Is brighter than blue Does that mean Anything to you Now I'm back up the hill, there's no more presents Been filling my cup with the same old hesitance You look ugly when you cry Face goes red and your mouth gets dry And no one likes it when you make a scene You've been wasted, telling them how you've been You don't even know why sometimes a grey sky Is brighter than blue Is brighter than blue You can't see I say to you
