Tried to be a painter in a lonely white room I couldn't see the colors 'til I saw inside of you Worked beside a carpenter whose love had left him cold And in his many ways he had closed off from the world And all I know is how to go And get around the feeling blue And all my quiet thoughts they hang around They hang around They hang around Look into a woman's face who's trying to move on Does she falter slightly when you say that he is gone? She's trying to remember if she ever was before And could that person now be one that she once wore And all I know is how to go And get around the feeling blue And all my quiet thoughts they hang around They hang around They hang around I've lived in many cities, but I've never made a home And in a stranger's face you can see that I am gone When you speak in anger, no one hears you right or wrong And all I know is how to go And get around the feeling blue And all my quiet thoughts they hang around They hang around They hang around They hang around And all I know is how to go And get around the feeling blue
