Blue Rodeo - Falling Down Blue Lyrics






Everyone tells me I'm lucky
Got my whole life to live yet
I can't say they're wrong
But the days seem so long
Living inside of my head

Maybe I'll get some relief now
Now that your things are all gone
I won't sit here staring
At nothing all night
Bleary-eyed greeting the dawn

[Chorus]
All right I miss you tonight
And I'm not really sure what to say
It keeps rolling in like a slow moving train
It gets harder and harder each day
Each time I think that the worst of it's through
I am stopped in my tracks by some vision of you
All right I miss you tonight
I admit that I'm falling down blue

She lived outside of the city
On days when I'd visit her there
I'd watch her out dancing
All lit by the moon
The cold winds of time in her hair

Then we'd go driving for hours
Turn off the lights and just glide
Moving like spirits
Along through the night
The light through the trees as our guide

[Chorus]

Blue Rodeo Falling Down Blue Comments
  1. C.... R....

    I have loved this band and the music they make together for over 20 years now. I feel like their past is just as meaningful as their present. Have they ever not written and played the beautiful, the tragic, and the hopeful all throughout? The keyboard, the percussion, the base, and, yes, the vocals. Such a beautiful blend of voices. Also,whomever is advising and producing their videos is spot on as to what they are trying to convey through their music. My viewpoints on some of their songs has either been altered or confirmed.

  2. h.... ....

    Miss you Pops

  3. D.... W....

    How can anyone (never mind 7 people) not like this tune?

    D.... W....

    Their reasons, no doubt. Let's just wish them love, hope and wellness.

  4. L.... L....

    Thanks Canada for having cool friends like mine.

  5. s.... ....

    This song makes me feel like I am floating, especially the piano at the end... Greg on drums (with that smirk and all dressed up) cracks me up everytime. He and Glenn swap out when they play live. So fun.

  6. C.... C....

    Possibly one of the finest songs I have ever heard.

  7. J.... L....

  14. B.... K....

    Marvelous. How many songs have the drummer deliver a guitar solo? Great stuff. This song really belongs to James Gray. His piano really sets the mood. Thanks for posting.

  15. A.... M....

    NPR brought me here

  16. R.... C....

    Is it possible to pick a favourite Blue Rodeo song? I always think mine's Bad Timing until I hear this again.

    R.... C....

    Girl of Mine ... or... wait... Montreal.... ummm... Dark Angel?.... no, your're right. not possible.

    R.... C....

    @Radclyffe George True story. I can't pick one...

  17. H.... ....

    I always thought this had an after hours jazz club feel to it.  Then again, I have never been to a jazz club, so I really have no clue.  All I know is I love this song.

  18. C.... B....

    It's like they were living in my pocket when they wrote this. Miss my baby even after lots of years, and they captured it.

  19. Q.... B....

    Miss my wife :'(

    T.... H....

    I rate them very highly.  Have seen them live 4 times.

    T.... H....

    Underrated where? They are known as one of the best Canadian bands ever. I don't call that underrated

    T.... H....

    Where are they "under-rated"??

  26. T.... ....

    The ending of this song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard...

  27. D.... L....

    James was sweet and a multi-instrumentalist. I loved our before or after-concert chats. He played in studio with so many people I'd be curious to find out how many. I will always remember him fondly. Peace, at last, kind soul! XX

  28. n.... ....
