Georgia Fields Blue Sky With a Black Cloud Parade lyrics

You shake hands with the heartache
Take it into your bed
Making friends with the sorrow
You keep it well fed
I wish that you had perforated edges
So I could tear you out of this
And paste you into happiness

But now it's a blue sky with a black cloud parade
When the curtains fall, the memory decays
It's the last bar of your lover's serenade, a trade
For a blue sky with a black cloud parade

I see you wearing that brave face
Got it strapped on tight

Feel exposed like a roll of film
In the light
I wish that you had perforated edges
So I could tear you out of this
Counting out the wedding bells
Filling up with white blood cells
You wait

For a blue sky with a black cloud parade
When the curtains fall, the memory decays
It's the last bar of your lover's serenade, a trade
For a blue sky with a black cloud parade
