PRETTY BLUE from Peanuts & Monkeys by Jaggy Edges

The stars look much bluer tonight. It’s a pretty blue, but it’s feeling much colder. Even though we dance in the light, I know you’re looking over your shoulder. Can something be so far away and still look so bright and so near? In our starlit romance we were taking the chance that the sky isn’t always this clear. Look up at the stars, try to count them. Are you certain that they’re all still there? Is it possible one might have fallen when you didn’t notice or care? Look straight in my eyes, try to read them to see if you see what I see. Reflecting the colour of your eyes, they look pretty blue to me. Holding you up to the light, trying to see a way through. But just like the stars out tonight, you’re starting to feel pretty blue. Were you always so far out of reach, further away than I knew? Let’s finish this dance, our starlit romance will fade with the first morning dew. Look up at the stars, try to count them. Are you certain that they’re all still there? Is it possible one might have fallen when you didn’t notice or care? Look straight in my eyes, try to read them, to see if you see what I see. Reflecting the colour of your eyes, they look pretty blue to me. With so many new constellations, who’s gonna notice the change? Just one more predicted decision in an old astrological game. The star that once had you shining, has fallen and disappeared. Our starlit romance never stood any chance. It died long before we got here. Look up at the stars, try to count them. Are you certain that they’re all still there? Is it possible one might have fallen when you didn’t notice or care? Look straight in my eyes, try to read them, to see if you see what I see. Reflecting the colour of your eyes, they look pretty blue to me.
