Blue Religion Lyrics

Guess I'll stay at home and watch the moon rise

Drink gin and tonics; talk to fireflies

What do you do when it's late in time?

That's what I do when you're on my mind

Remember you said you were born too late?

Would have run with the Beats

Or tripped in the Haight

Really was no place we belonged

Best was just getting lost in a song

Take it away don't make me stay

Can't crawl back to yesterday

Sunlight on dust in an empty room

She left me behind way too soon

Sorrow rises, solitude sings

Someone said these are precious things.

Hope won't disappoint it's true,

If you lie to yourself your whole life through

A blue religion came today

Said it could take all this away

But I'm more rooted than any tree

Stuck beside the rising sea

Take it away don't make me stay

can't crawl back to yesterday

There's a layer of dust in her empty room

She left this world way too soon

And I won't let go and I can't be free

Waves of grief keep pounding me

Through the endless cycle of love and loss

We learn too late that there's such a cost
