Lyrics

A Paler Blue
by Paul Felton

Sitting here watching my whole world slip away
Wond’ring who I am underneath it anyway
Questioning everything to keep or throw away
Mystified and bluer every day

Stumbling through the labyrinth
Of what I tend to do
I can only guess where it’s leading to
And I’m looking for a paler blue

One wrong word away from being all alone
One wrong idea away from losing it all
Looking for a place to land, and wearing out my friends
Until I find a way to make amends

Revelations dawn, bringing glimpses of the light
Softening the pain and isolation of the night
Remorse and regret show some wisdom getting through
Turning my heart a paler blue

Channeling confusion from murky indigo
To spaciousness of azure that I knew long ago
Welcoming the insight for what I need to do
Waking up to a paler blue

Pulling back to rediscover who I really am
Peeling away the shrouded habits of the past
Sad that it took me so long to let it go
As I learn to trust it I will grow

Revelations dawn, bringing glimpses of the light
Softening the pain and isolation of the night
Remorse and regret show some wisdom getting through
Turning my heart a paler blue
Turning my heart a paler blue
