John Prine — No Ordinary Blue

[Verse 1] Last night, turned on the TV Looked out the window And then pulled down the shades And I came to the conclusion My mind cannot be made [Verse 2] She said "Well what're you thinkin'? I'm just a-wonderin', is it somethin' that I did?" I said, "It's nothin', just somethin' I picked up as a kid" [Chorus] I hear a lot of empty spaces I see a big hole in you I feel an outline that traces An imaginary path back to you This ain't no ordinary blue [Verse 3] Last night for a split sec I was a trainwreck I was a complicated guy I hope we don't find This is the last time We ever say goodbye [Verse 4] The orange moon is risin' On the horizon Of the outskirts of my mind I sat and listened As it glistened It said, "Leave the past behind" [Chorus] I hear a lot of empty spaces I see a big hole in the view I feel an outline that traces An imaginary path back to you This ain't no ordinary blue [Outro] Too cold to hold Too deep to swim through Too cold to hold Too deep to swim through [Verse 1] Last night turned on the TV Looked out the window And then pulled down the shades
