Boy Blue


Before the sun she made her run
I woke and she was gone
Poppa's stare said Guinevere
Had flown to Avalon

At least a month her eyes had died
The reasons no one knew
Dad could never bring her back
His world turned silent blue

Spirits send her home tonight
Silence still the eve
Come and touch A blue boy heart
Love that never leaves

I know it's not an act of love
That left him in the rain
If love is what she thought she'd left
It lives here with his pain

Give him back a little time 
Before your leaving nears
Momma hold a moment more
And stay to wipe his tears

Spirits send her home tonight
Silence still the eves
Come and touch A blue boy heart
Love that never leaves
