Blue in the Good Way (versione 2)

Verse 1

The streetlights hum in minor keys

The taxis idle, mostly free

You tip your hat like an old cliché

I laugh and let you walk me anyway

Pre-Chorus

The band in the corner plays it slow

The bassist nods like he should know

The sax lets out a knowing sigh

Like it's watched a hundred nights go by

Chorus

Blue in the good way

Blue like the hour after ten

Blue like the light on your lapel

Blue in the good way again

Verse 2

A cool breeze carries jasmine in

From the alley by the door

You turn my glass like a wedding ring

As if you've practiced this before

Pre-Chorus

The windows upstairs go amber, then gold

The city leans close, it's nosy and old

It's humming along to every word

Like the sweetest rumor it's ever heard

Chorus

Blue in the good way

Blue like the hour after ten

Blue like the light on your lapel

Blue in the good way again

Bridge – softer

Let the clock hands lose their hold

Let the last call wait outside

I've had my share of blue gone cold

This one's warm, and this one's mine

This is velvet, this is slow

Take your time, I'm in no rush to go

Final Chorus

Blue in the good way

Blue like the hour after ten

Blue like the light on your lapel

Blue in the good way again

Some nights the blue just aches and stays

Tonight I'm blue in the good way

Outro

Blue in the good way

Blue in the good way
