Mr. Blue



Mr. Blue, I sit and wonder
what brings you to this beach?
I sit here nearly every day
my thoughts many miles away

As today is, yesterday was
Tomorrow approaches with
Much the same baggage

You always seem to return Mr. Blue,
is this your home? Are you alone?
Where have you ventured from?
Where will you venture too?

I will still be sitting here
My thoughts many miles away
Mr. Blue, I so envy you
