Big Blue Note

See that big blue note over there on the counter

You don't wanna read that thing man it's a real getcha downer

But don't you dare say nothing else, bad about her

Cause she's gone



No, No, No, No don't throw it away, cause tonight I might need it

It gets real lonley around here at night sometimes and I have to re-read it

Besides, you can show it to the boys down town they won't believe that

She's gone



CHORUS

There used to be a time, I was all she ever wanted

All the man that she'll ever need

I come home to find, just like that she's up and vanished,

And the only thing she left behind for me...



Is this big blue note, folded up in my pocket

Ya, don't laugh it's been two months, I still got it

Sometimes I gotta read the sucker twice just to make sure I ain't forgotten that

She's gone



You know my psychiatrist says, "Tell me what do you see, when you look at these ink spots of reds, and yellows, and greens. I looked at 'em all, but, they all look to me like big blue notes."



CHORUS

There used to be a time, I was all she ever wanted

All the man that she'll ever need

I come home to find, just like that she's up and vanished,

And the only thing that's left to do for me...



Is stand high on this cliff, overlookin' the sea

With my big blue note paper airplane that I just set free

I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes and if it don't come back to me

You guessed it...She's gone



Crash landing



Bye bye baby!
