Threw my coins out on the wind  Crossed my fingers and tried again  Straight ahead, a collision course  I can't control it anymore  Fate is but a rendezvous  Paths I followed to get to you  Wore my boots down to the heels  How bitter disappointment feels  Out in the blue    Memories like fires glow  Can we forget them, I don't think so  Marched in lines against the odds  I can't forgive the things I saw  Teardrops fall and arrows fly  How many times I've watched you cry  Promises I broke to you  All the things I'm going through  Out in the blue    Oh captain, steer me clear  Make the nightmares disappear  Some things better left alone  Let someone else carry the load  Every year takes its toll  Time keeps cutting at my soul  I know you're out there just like me  Is this the way it's supposed to be  Out in the blue
