tHe bLeUs dUn coMe tO RooSt, I heard’em outside-a ma wind-a
Those muffled sounds I know by heart
While other fowl are flyin’ south
The blues done come to roost
Those ceruleans, ultramarines n’ cobalts
Buildin’ their home with threads and boughs
Settlin’ in, getting’ cozy, they gonna be here awhile
We know each other quite well
No cause for worry, fret or concern
Weeze ole’ friends from way back when
We gotta mutual respect
tHe bLeUs dUn coMe tO RooSt
Those azures, royals, n sky’s
Even Picasso had his Blue Period
I been expectin’ ‘em
They’re just passin’ thru
tHe bLeUs dUn coMe tO RooSt
Those indigos, cadets n’ steels
I’ve set a place at the table for ‘em
Along with Peace, Joy and Reverence
Weeze ole’ friends from way back when
We all get along jus’ fine
The twinklin’ sky, the winter’s first snow, my knowing eyes
tHe bLeUs dUn coMe tO RooSt
Those midnights, persians, n’ navys
Good to see ya’, come on in
Weeze ole friends from way back when
tHe bLeUs dUn coMe tO RooSt
