A thousand miles of whispers pave the road home to you
Over bespoken flowers that saw me through
I whisper one last clue then I'm the ghost in the room
And when the round is over that's when I fade to blue
Unlight the candles and draw the curtain closed
Sheer is the night and bright is the fading ember
I share what's left of a smile and sigh a toast to you
And when the round is over that's when I fade to blue
I fade to blue, I fade to blue
And when the round is over, that's when I fade to blue
Blue is the color of healing and love's poultice
And blue will give me the gift of a mother's kiss
I wait for the breeze to greet me and the tree limbs that embrace me
And when the round is over, that's when I fade to blue
I fade to blue, I fade to blue
And when the round is over, that's when I fade to blue
