Buried in Blue

The sun sets red with rage White clouds float by Like high cotton Blank as an empty page Blue is a color buried Not forgotten Sweet as mother`s milk And clear as the wind Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk Blue is the color to be buried in When you left Leaving nothing behind There`s no one to blame No criminal, no crime You can report a missing person But not a stolen heart And I`m missing a person To whom stealing was an art The painting`s complete The brush strokes dry I hear a band playing A bent note or two I guess someone died And just wants to be Buried in blue
