Threw my coins out on the wind

Crossed my fingers and tried again

Straight ahead, a collision course

I can't control it anymore

Fate is but a rendezvous

Paths I followed to get to you

Wore my boots down to the heels

How bitter disappointment feels

Out in the blue



Memories like fires glow

Can we forget them, I don't think so

Marched in lines against the odds

I can't forgive the things I saw

Teardrops fall and arrows fly

How many times I've watched you cry

Promises I broke to you

All the things I'm going through

Out in the blue



Oh captain, steer me clear

Make the nightmares disappear

Some things better left alone

Let someone else carry the load

Every year takes its toll

Time keeps cutting at my soul

I know you're out there just like me

Is this the way it's supposed to be

Out in the blue
