Blue Skies Are Black Again lyrics - The 88

Here come the broken mouth
Blown in from the South
Everything's sweet if it's said with a drawl
But underneath the charm
That'll do you harm
Take what you need, yeah, but don't take it all

Before the early light
Rose up red and white
I caught the blues in the back of your car
With no more rules to bend
No more notes to send
Red eyes and please only get you so far

And outside that rain keeps falling down
I hear it comin'

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Black again, black again, oh oh

Your mouth is movin' and my face is on fire
If I said you were sweet
Well I'd be a liar
And don't say another word
The dark gets darker when your words are heard

And outside that rain keeps falling down
I feel it comin'

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Black again, black again, oh oh

This boy's in bed
Covering his head
He can't pretend, oh
So he tries
Covering his eyes
He can't decide, oh

I'm in overload
I've been feeling mean

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again

Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again

Do You Love Me lyrics - The 88

Do you love me
Are you listening
Do you care how I feel
Am I wrong or is this real
Am I just a waste of time
Will I ever call you mine
And do you love me
Like I love you

And do you need me
Are you waiting
When I call out your name
Do you ever feel the same
Am I talking to myself
Is your heart with someone else
And do you need me
Like I need you

I've been crawling outside your door
Yes I've been here before
You know I see that shape I'm in
You know I'm crawling right out my skin
How much longer must I wait
When all I wanna hear you say
I want you just to tell me, tell me
Give me a sign

Well I've been crawling outside your door
Yes I've been here before
Ah did you see that shape I'm in
You know I'm crawling right out my skin
How much longer must I wait
When all I wanna hear you say
I want you just to tell me, tell me
Give me a sign

And do you love me
Are you listening
Do you care how I feel
Am I wrong or is this real
Am I talking to myself
Is your heart with someone else
And do you love me

Someday Blues lyrics - The 88

The valley was death
So bored and unused
Spoke under your breath
I'm not here to amuse

Where nothing would grow
And no one was seen
So hard just to know
What's real and what's dream

When you'd had enough
We were still only kids
And I was too young
To know why you did what you did

And though you were here
So little remained
And you never felt near
And I never felt safe

The truth is just this
I love you till it hurts
Till I'm gone and missed
And laid down in the dirt

Oh, My Love lyrics - The 88

Oh, my love
It's you I was dreaming of
I've been tired and sleeping
Good lord above
You're my only love

Tell me then
From this bed you're in
Were you sleeping sound boy
You can't pretend
Was she here again

Outside stars they light the sky
I never really noticed without you though
In here everything is clear
I never really noticed without you though, I know

Please believe
You're the one for me
No more wretched lies girl
It tortures me
You're the one for me

How could you
Take a love so true
Leave it dead and bleeding
And torn in two
Tell me how could you

Outside stars they light the sky
I never really noticed without you though
In here everything is clear
I never would've noticed without you though, I know

What's that there
In your hand so fair
If I wasn't dreaming
I would be scared
What do you hold there

If I said you will soon be dead
Would you beg and plead boy
Or cry instead, yes you'll soon be dead

My Friend John lyrics - The 88

My friend John
He's passed on
Far away
Or so they say

Remember driving by the house on the sea
And you were quiet in the back of my car
Headed to hear about how bad it could be

Now I'm alive and I can't find the door
Do you have what you had
With you anymore
My friend John

My friend Keith
Went to sleep
He's gone away
Or so they say

Remember walking through the flowers in the yard
And I was trying not to forget to breathe
And we were swallowed by the mouth of the stars

Now I'm alive and I'm stuck on the stage
And you're a voice in a dream
From a different age
My friend Keith

Remember walking through the flowers in the yard
And I was trying not to flinch when I breathe
And we were swallowed by the mouth of the stars

Now I'm alive and I'm stuck on the stage
And you're a voice in a dream
In a different age
My friend John
