"Brighter Than The Blues" lyrics - JOAN SHELLEY

Got to leave this house, go swiftly out
I've been lying around till noon
Till the fear comes on
That I might have fallen
Honey, I think of you.

The winter's calling loudly now
I believe it'll be here soon
And it won't be kind,
It'll rule me with shadows
Turning my gold to blue.

Go away, go away you poison loves
For you I have no use
I can sleep alone
Many a night I've gone
Never to think of you.

Well, the leaves have fallen
The season's passed
I'll go west, or someplace new
Where the lights are low
So the stars can glow
Brighter than the blues.
