Me Died Blue Lyrics It was not long, not long ago
When I was fast, and you were slow
But times, they change for me and you
You kept your pace but me died blue
Oh, the seasons change, you know they will
You'll get your gold, you'll take your spill
This living hell could be so sad
And through it all, I think we know
Living in fear will drive you mad
Living in fear will drive you mad
So close your eyes, your weary head
Stop all the pain, it's time for bed, oh
The ancient road you thought was new
It's all we have to make it through
Oh, it was an angel in disguise
So, walk on straight and shut your eyes
You shine those toys to reach the fad
But let's move on because we know, oh
Living in fear will drive you mad
Living in fear will drive you mad
When snow arrives, it leaves me cold
I can't go on like this you know
I can't go
When the hot sun hurts me, I have to leave
This world of me, you know I grieve
You know I
Sister, don't leave me hanging
Bring me to sing
The songs we knew when me died blue
When me died blue
When you died too
La-la-la-li...
Oh, move them feet and shed that old
I could almost see you trying
I been picking up speed and eating that bread
You could almost smell me dying
I'm moving on and shedding skin
Through golden cloves aligning
I'll be flying, flying
I'll be flying...
Mama, I'll be flying
La-la-la-li...
The silent moon can warm a soul
It leaves you stuck with no control
But that just when old things turn new
So let's move on and all die blue...
So let's move on and all fly ...
So let's move on and all die...
So let's move on and all die blue
Story behind the song:
When people hear it, they often say "Cat Stevens," and I agree: I definitely tip my hat to Cat Stevens in that song. He is very melodic and folk, very much the storyteller; he can talk about dimension changes by talking about, you know, a little girl and a priest and a forest. A great fairy-tale children's songwriter and I think adults cling to this, because it brings them back to their childhoods. My song is about redemption--a song about getting to the end of the journey and finding an amazing explosion-conclusion -- and having to leave things behind.
