When the Blues…

Written by Matt Long


When the blues is all you have,

when the blues is all you bleed

give the sun your restless skin

and the earth your ramblin’ feet.

When the clouds are all weighed down

and the rain is all you see

release the clothes that bind you,

and know that you are free.

When the wind is tugging at your roots,

when the wind is pulling all your leaves

let the current take you,

and fulfill the soil’s needs.
