Big Blue Note

See that big blue note
Over there on the counter
You don't wanna read that thing, man
It's a real get-you-downer
But don't you dare say nothin' else bad about her
She's gone

No, no, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away
'Cause tonight I might need it
It gets real lonely around here at night sometimes
And I have to reread it
Besides, you show it to the boys downtown
They won't believe that
She's gone

There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she'll ever need
I come home to find just like that, she's up and vanished
And the only thing she left behind for me

Is this big blue note folded up in my pocket
Yeah, don't laugh, it's been two months
I still got it
Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice
Just to make sure I ain't forgot that
She's gone

You know, my psychiatrist said
"Tell me what do you see
When you look at these ink spots
Of uh, reds and yellows and greens" you know
I looked at 'em all but they all looked to me like
Big blue notes

There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she'll ever need
I come home to find just like that, she's up and vanished
And the only thing she left behind for me

Is stand high on this cliff overlookin' the sea
With my big blue note paper airplane that I just set free
And I'ma wait here a few more minutes
And if it don't come back to me, huh
You guessed it, she's gone

Crash landin'
Bye-bye, baby
