Grey clouds you don’t scare me
I’ve encountered you before
I know what’s above you
A light, so bright, blue skies
This time I know better than to wish you’d go away
In all this isolation, illusions just melt away, and anyway…
Wishes won’t behave the way you want them to
If want them to hurry up, they’ll just slow down
No an attitude of gratitude is what they like best
Try not to be rigid or resist to what is
Then out of the deep blue, they’ll ring true
If we can’t talk about it I don’t see how we can heal
Please come to the table, and help me rewrite our story
Cause the tiger he’s a prowlin, and the monkey he’s a chatting
And the elephant escaped from the zoo
I wish, how I wish they’d leave my room
And I wish that’d you come home
or call me on the phone too
Silence is not so golden when it lasts for days and days and days
I’ve guessed and second guessed, all of my mistakes
I wish you could remember this heart of mine
You were the first to see it from inside
Out of the deep blue they’re gonna ring
Out of the blue, out of the big deep blue, they’re gonna ring
Yeah, out of the blue, out of the big deep blue
they’re gonna ring for me, for you
Out of the blue
I’ve encountered you before
I know what’s above you
A light, so bright, blue skies
This time I know better than to wish you’d go away
In all this isolation, illusions just melt away, and anyway…
Wishes won’t behave the way you want them to
If want them to hurry up, they’ll just slow down
No an attitude of gratitude is what they like best
Try not to be rigid or resist to what is
Then out of the deep blue, they’ll ring true
If we can’t talk about it I don’t see how we can heal
Please come to the table, and help me rewrite our story
Cause the tiger he’s a prowlin, and the monkey he’s a chatting
And the elephant escaped from the zoo
I wish, how I wish they’d leave my room
And I wish that’d you come home
or call me on the phone too
Silence is not so golden when it lasts for days and days and days
I’ve guessed and second guessed, all of my mistakes
I wish you could remember this heart of mine
You were the first to see it from inside
Out of the deep blue they’re gonna ring
Out of the blue, out of the big deep blue, they’re gonna ring
Yeah, out of the blue, out of the big deep blue
they’re gonna ring for me, for you
Out of the blue
