Powder Blue

Thinking 'bout a life I knew, and

How the sky's true colour cast a spell over you

Heaven's wonder was on display

In shades of powder blue

Thinking back on a corner store, and

How the change in my pocket jangled with the changes in store

For me as I made my way

Afraid of changing more

But is it strange to attach a colour

To a moment or a sound?

To a feeling or misgiving?

To a shadow hanging round?

Photograph of a boy I knew, and

How the sky's true colour matched his pullover too

Now I catch a glimpse as he fades

In shades of powder blue

It seems time often paints

These memories on parade

For reasons I can't explain

In shades of powder blue

In shades of powder blue

In shades of powder blue
