SOMETHING IN A BASIC BLUE / © James Barton 2024

I’m looking for a room to rent
A month or two should do I bet
Don’t want nothing fancy, don’t need no view
Just something, something in a basic blue

Have to find a place to think
Pull myself back from the brink
Discombobulated and misconstrued
Something, something in a basic blue

Play me a bad one, tell me love is a game
Sing me a sad one, love in vain, cryin’ shame

Second-hand formal shoes
Yesterday they shined like new
Or a dry cleaned, gabardine wedding suit
Something, something in a basic blue

Lonely nights and rainy days
Hope it’s just a passing phase
Color me whatever occurs to you
Something, something in a basic blue
