lyrics

WANTED BLUE

Ooooo you only wanted blue
You only want the 4th of July
Without a flash in the sky in June
Ooooo you only wanted blue
No other color filling your eye
No talking too bright to you

It’s so automatic
I’ve got to give it up for what you do
Wrap your hands ‘round the throat of
Whatever won’t change hue
On the talk back
You let a lot of parables slip through
You’ve got so much to say
On so much you just can’t prove

Ooooo you only wanted fun
A simple conversation resigned
Replaced by the sight of your gun
Ooooo you only wanted blue
The resolution cleany displays
The art and the shade of your mood

All your lovers dance along
All your lovers dance along
Until they’re gone
Until they’re long gone
Ooooo you only wanted blue
No other color filling your eye
No talking too bright to you

It’s so automatic
I’ve got to give it up for what you do
Keep your hands ‘round the throat
Of whatever won’t change hue
There you’re on the talk back
To let a lot of parables slip through
You’ve got so much to say
On so much you just
So much you just
So much you just can’t prove

Dickie Iowa

Dickie’s 2015 album was a moody testimonial of singer-songwriter Dick Prall. Prall took a series of losses and nestled them inside a layered mix that found Dickie on the top of several “Best of” lists. 2019 finds Prall in a nostalgic headspace, partnering with drummer/multi-instrumentalist Billy Barton to produce a stripped-back mix of reflective & pulsating sing-alongs in the latest release. ... more
