Lyrics

Prelude
Dark, Lonely life
Still burning bright
No matter what they say
We will remember you

Verse 1
You were a one for singing
So deep and blue
Always melancholic
Tell me, why was it you

Verse 2
A girl you'd never marry
But she was deep inside of you
Or was it just a mirage
To help you stay so blue

Bridge
We knew a secret feeling
Same one as you
You laugh because we hurry
But, look at what became of you
You died, we knew it would happen
My Nicky Blue

Verse 3
And when you sang, the mood was magic
Stark images and desolation
At times too hard to handle
At times hope for a few

Verse 4
Spring comes into the summer
lost love and an empty heart
I sing a song of sorrow
Yeah, you can sing it too
You sing it true
My Nicky Blue

Re-listened: your guitar work is amazing and i love the harmonys ( i‘m a big fan of harmony singing!) - I could listen for hours, again and again!

Oh a prelude - it really sets the mood for the song and is beautifully done. This song is so gorgeously sad and very compelling. Lovely vocals and harmonies too. Excellent guitar playing as always! Is this an ode to Nick Drake and a nod to the album Way To Blue? Totally getting those Nick Drake vibes.

A song of sorrow … so beautifully performed!
So very gentle and delicate vocals and guitar here! I mostly love the prelude!
Enjoyed this very much!
