Way Beyond The Blues

Words and music: jim johnston

Close your eyes, the sea of emotion's run dry, there's just one beating heart.
You know I'd search the whole world for answers for you, but where can I start?
So I'll stay with you when you feel so alone in the night, all numb and withdrawn.
A silent void with nothing to cling to I'm here, until the pain passes on.
I've never walked down these streets before, so I don't now what to do.
I can't speak for these angry gods, but when everything goes wrong,
It goes way beyond the blues.

I have watched as something's gone out inside you, how empty it feels!
I wont point, and play those "what if" games and speak like your pain isn't real.
Reach for things that rekindle the hope and the flame that once burned in your soul.
Cause every night I hear you calling for something to heal this bottomless hole.
I've never walked down these streets before, I can't say what to do.
I can't speak for these angry gods, but everything's gone wrong,
This goes way beyond the blues.

You and time must pass on the same drifting ship, I wait on the shore.
Trouble brought out the best and the worst in us both, when it kicked down your door.
I remember sunny walks on sunny days your laughter, it still rings in my ears.
Waiting for the best of times to come again,
We'll go way beyond the blues.
I can't speak for these angry gods, but everything's gone wrong,
This goes way beyond the blues.
