The Avett Brothers - Black, Blue lyrics

Nobody will call
Not as long as I keep my phone off the line
Not as long as I keep my
Voice down inside of my mouth
But, it's getting harder to hide
And the brightness of the colors
Makes it hard to describe
And the voices that seem to
Come from all sides makes it hard to decide

Black, blue, her, you

I know a woman who said
"Oh if I could only just turn back the clock
When I was still scared and
My hair was still dark
And my hands were clean
But now all my choices are spent
And the men that I've known
They don't know what I meant
And Cupid's arrow is backwards and bent
When it's flying for me"

Black, blue, her, you white, green, him, me

Nobody will say
"Oh, what a fine, young, upstanding man
With his ducks in a
Row and his fifty-year-plan
Complete with an ending"
But, it's getting harder to see
And the time between daylight
Seems longer to me
And the person I am, and the person I'll be
Refuse to meet

Black, blue, her, you white, green, him, me
