Recently the San Diego Songwriters Collective posted a prompt challenging songwriters to write a song using Colors as an inspiration. I couldn't make the meeting, but decided to take a stab at it anyway. Here's what I came up with. In what comes as no surprise to anyone on this planet, it's about my mama. Annnnnnnd in other shocking news, I cry in the video. I'm becoming a caricature of myself, guys, I know. Lyrics
1.I clicked the link that said add one to the basket I didn’t think I’d be this young shopping for a casket The whole thing was pink with pretty little flowers to match it We watched it sink deep down in the grave that we paid for to stash it CHORUS In a way, the day she died, I did a little too I’d have to say it was the day pink turned blue 2. When she was alive I’d get lost on a dime, broke down like a car I tried to drive away so many times but never got too far But now I believe she’s giving me signs, I see ‘em in the stars Even though grief made me blind now I see her fine, she’s on my radar CHORUS In a way, she gave me the go-ahead, the gasoline I’d have to say she's paving the way for red to turn green
