[Verse 1]
Everyone tells me I'm lucky, got my whole life to live yet
I can't say they're wrong but the days seem so long
Living inside of my head
Maybe I'll get some relief now now that your things are all gone
I won't sit here staring at nothing all night
Bleary-eyed greeting the dawn
[Chorus]
Alright, I miss you tonight
And I'm not really sure what to say
It keeps rolling in like a slow moving train
It gets harder and harder each day
Each time I think that the worst of it's through
I am stopped in my tracks by some vision of you
Alright, I miss you tonight
I admit that I'm falling down blue
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
She lived outside of the city, on days when I'd visit her there
I'd watch her out dancing all lit by the moon
The cold winds of time in her hair
Then we'd go driving for hours, turn off the lights and just glide
Moving like spirits along through the night
The light through the trees as our guide
[Chorus]
Alright, I miss you tonight
And I'm not really sure what to say
It keeps rolling in like a slow moving train
It gets harder and harder each day
Each time I think that the worst of it's through
I am stopped in my tracks by some vision of you
Alright, I miss you tonight
I admit that I'm falling down blue
Falling Down Blue was written by Jim Cuddy & Greg Keelor.
Falling Down Blue was produced by John Whynot & Blue Rodeo.
Blue Rodeo released Falling Down Blue on Tue Jul 15 1997.
A heartbroken jazz ballad. The setting for the song is Greg’s farm and the details are kind of borrowed from circumstances that were around me. Sometimes I think what you do as a songwriter is witness a scene… maybe you see something in an airport… let’s say you see two people saying goodbye to each...
