Permablues

Never believed in sunshine
Never shook hands with the sun
Never took her for granted
Never took her for fun
Always deceived, never believed
I could find a rose without a thorn

Never looked at smiles
Never trusted a friendly face
Never returned an affection
Never entered the chase
Always deceived, never believed
I could find a rose without a thorn

Your cries and youth
Like pebbles in my shoes
Make me short of clues
Or an acceptable truth
But I'll let you shine tonight
To ease my PERMABLUES

Grew up on the dark side
I'm a child of the moon
I got used to the cold
And grew up all too soon
Always deceived, never believed
I could find a rose without a thorn

Your cries and youth
Like pebbles in my shoes
Make me short of clues
Or an acceptable truth
But I'll let you shine tonight
To ease my PERMABLUES
But I'll let you shine tonight
Upon my PERMABLUES
