Bittersweet and Blue Lyrics

 I see you now
In faded corduroy 
That shines with sangria

We dipped our fiery toes
Two strangers staring both
Into the unfamiliar

Bittersweet and Blue
Am I imagining how much you knew?

The peeling paint
Tobacco in your hair and no restraint
A crookèd shelf

The dusty red café
Your smile transported me
And I forgot myself

Bittersweet and Blue
Am I imagining how much you knew?
Bittersweet and Blue
Now I’m returned you’ve left me slightly askew.

And I watch you swim
Through the waters of my memory?Recollections merge with my fluid fantasy
You dive away from me

I keep your face
Within a wooden frame in pride of place 
My crookèd shelf

I steal a glance and then
I remember when you smiled
And I forgot myself

Bittersweet and Blue
Now I’m returned you’ve left me slightly askew.
Memories of you
A tattered snapshot keeps me
Bittersweet and Blue
