Brighter Than Blue
[Verse 1]
I come bearing gifts to myself
One dollar coffee and a smoke for my health
Walk around Fremantle at 9:00am
Doctor's appointment and then
A text to a friend with no reply
It's been a month and I don't know why
Sunglasses on, and sometimes a grey sky

[Chorus]
Is brighter than blue
Is brighter than blue
Does that mean
Anything to you?

[Verse 2]
An old man in a white cap
Sings Bob Dylan on the street and I clap
I've got no change and I feel bad
I slip away when he turns his back
And then walk to the Ferris wheel, its carriages are empty
They spin quickly when they feel less heavy
I wish I could relate, but sometimes a grey sky
[Chorus]
Is brighter than blue
Is brighter than blue
Does that mean
Anything to you?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now I'm back up the hill, there's no more presents
Been filling my cup with the same old hesitance
You look ugly when you cry
Face goes red and your mouth gets dry
And no one likes it when you make a scene
You've been wasted, telling them how you been
You don't even know why sometimes a grey sky

[Chorus]
Is brighter than blue
Is brighter than blue
Do colours seem
The same to you?
