VERSE
It ain't near the same blue as the everyday sky
Oh, it's way darker; like a bad puffed-up black eye
It can come from a lie or a sad goodbye
It hurts so bad when it's a dark blue afternoon
CHORUS
On a dark blue afternoon, love cannot be seen
When it gets like this, your mind just reels
On a dark blue afternoon, no one can hear you scream
You can talk, but you can't say what you feel
On a stormy-night dark blue afternoon
SOLO/VERSE
Rain come lightnin'; it's dark all over town
When you sent that text, babe, you tore me down
Thunder all around; what a frightenin' sound
Ain't there some way to escape this dark blue afternoon?
Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/BRIDGE
As the dark blue afternoon becomes the blackest night
Come on home, baby, make everything right, oh yeah
Repeat CHORUS/TAG
It's a stormy-night dark blue afternoon
