  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Package is a full-color, 4-panel wallet containing a vinyl look/feel CD and a 12-page booklet with full lyrics and artwork.

    Songwriter's note to the hard-core audiophiles (truth in advertising): This is a high-quality CD-R, burned from a digital master in a professional manufacturing facility. It is NOT a replicated disk. I had to choose between replication and the vinyl look/feel I wanted for the CD. For me, the visual aesthetic was more important, given that most people are streaming these days anyway. The audio quality of the CD-R is the same as a pressed disk.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Blue, blue. I focus on the blue
I float far away to survive another day
I focus on the blue

Blue like a summer sky
Blue like the wings of a damselfly
Stray cornflower in a field of rye
And blue like the sea

I keep my eyes focused on the ceiling,
go blue to avoid all feeling
I fly to another place
to get through the ceremony,
this monthly rite of matrimony
And if I pray and if I believe,
I will conceive and I'll have a baby

So I focus on the blue. I focus on the blue
I float far away to survive another day
I focus on the blue

Blue violets in spring
The box that held my wedding ring
Indigo of a bunting's wing
and blue like the sea

I keep my eyes focused on the ceiling,
go blue to avoid all feeling
I fly to another place
to get through the ceremony,
this monthly rite of matrimony
And if we pray and if we believe,
I will conceive and they'll take my baby

So I focus on the blue. I focus on the blue
I float far away to survive another day
I focus on the blue

Sunlight through blue bottle glass
Forget-me-nots and blue-eyed grass
The patterned hem of my daughter's dress
And blue like the sea

I keep my eyes focused on the ceiling,
go blue to avoid all feeling
I fly to a better place
to get through the rape and plunder
that tears my body and my soul asunder
And if I pray and if I believe,
I'll be redeemed and Blue will save me

So I focus on the blue, wild innocent blue.
I drown in blue, blue like the sea
