The clouds are blue
The sky is white
The pavements green
The grass is fine
Id burn it all
To see her face
The tar is red
The brick is black
She said it all
The rain turns back
Rip out my throat
To hear her voice
Sitting on my desk are three blue pens
And I know she'd love the color
Sitting on my desk are three loose ends
And I couldn't dream another
Sitting on my desk are three blue pens
And I really miss my mother
The wind has stilled
My heart is slow
Our steps in sync
Can't watch her go
I'd sing all night
To make her laugh
Her ducks will swim
Along the lake
Their feet will kick
Away my hate
Cut off my legs
So she could walk
Sitting on my desk are three blue pens
And I know she'd love the color
(Love the color)
Sitting on my desk are three loose ends
And I couldn't dream another
(Dream another)
Sitting on my desk are three blue pens
And I really miss my mother
Every day without you
is a rainbow missing a shade
(Missing a shade)
Every night without you
Is a star that dwindles to grey
(Dwindles to grey)
And every waking hour
Is a year I'd rather with you
(Rather with you)
When every dream turns sour
In the absence of your youth
Sitting on my desk are three blue pens
And I know you'd love the color
(Love the color)
Sitting on my desk are three loose ends
And I couldn't dream another
(Dream another)
Sitting on my desk are three blue pens
And I know you'd love the color
(Love the color)
Sitting on my desk are three loose ends
And I really miss my mother
