Blue boy with a voice that quivers
With a haunted heart he delivers
A novel's worth of sad memories
Accompanied by his cold, blue steel strings
He says once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while
I forget about you
Blue boy can't get no breaks
His heart is tangled up like a snake
Blue boy sings to be free
If only in his dreams
He says once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while
I forget about you
He's holding on so desperately
To loves that used to be
It's hard to hide too easy to see
He looks a lot, he looks a lot like me
He says once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while
I forget about you
