Nice And Blue

[Verse 1]

You were a song that I couldn't sing

You were a story I couldn't tell

I've only ever loved myself

But I've loved myself so well

And how defeated I return!

(you're nice and blue, you're nice and blue)

I missed what I was supposed to learn

As all I learned about was missing you

[Verse 2]

A life left half behind

Though no longer

Blind I can't yet see

I'm not the boy that I once was

But I'm not the man I'll be

And I've been waiting now

For six years on

(and have only just begun)

For the day you'll hold her in your arms

Oh risen Lord, my precious one

[Verse 3]

I was once the wine

I was once the wine

I was once the wine, and you the wineglass

I was once alive

I was once alive

I was once alive, when you held me

When you held me

God became the glass

And all things left were emptiness

Oh, my little girl

Oh, my little girl

If you look out

And see a trace of dark red that used

To be my face

In the clarity of his

Grace: remember me
