John performed this song first in an Instagram Live during one of his Current Mood episodes. He described it as a song about loneliness.
[Verse 1]
When I'm standing in the sun
I never really stop to think and miss someone
But when I lose that light
Blue skies at night
[Verse 2]
When those evening stars shine down
I suddenly remember that you're not around
And I face that fight
Blue skies at night
[Chorus]
These are the hardest kind of years
The ones where people disappear
So tired of all these broken dreams
I'm better on my own it seems
[Verse 3]
Dog in a ball at the end of my bed
Yet, I wish it was the three of us in yours instead
But I do what's right
Blue skies at night
[Chorus]
These are the hardest kind of years
The ones where people disappear
Who's crying all these winter tears?
They're hanging like this chandelier
[Outro]
And there beside the morning grave
A stronger man in place of where a fool once laid
But for one more day
Blue skies
So come what may
Blue skies
I'll find my way
Blue skies at night
