Day 030

And I guess that's why they call it the blues.

Time on my hands could be time spent with you.

Elton John

The theme for the Item Collaboration group today was a clock. I didn't really have this song in mind for it. I was in a rush and just snapped the shot as quickly as possible before my hands froze off. But when I got inside and saw all the blue tones due to the underexposure and sunset, Elton started singing in the back of my mind. I ♥ this song.  I like to pretend that my future husband (whoever he is) is singing it to me. Lame? Perhaps. But so fitting.

I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues

Elton John

Don't wish it away

Don't look at it like it's forever

Between you and me I could honestly say

That things can only get better

And while I'm away

Dust out the demons inside

And it won't be long before you and me run

To the place in our hearts where we hide

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Just stare into space

Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second without hesitation

And never forget I'm your man

Wait on me girl

Cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself
