about
Wrote this song for a Crayola commercial and it was rejected for being "too dark."
lyrics
WITH THE SKY ALL BLUE
Well I never felt green even when springtime hit the leaves
And I never felt red even with the blood rushing up into my head
And I never felt gold even when my pockets were feeling full
With all that spinning round me its funny, I never felt a thing
So with the sky all blue, why oh why do I feel blue too
I never felt yellow even when the sun lay down into the meadow
And I never felt grey even on a rainy day
And I never felt pink oh no no no I don’t think
With all that spinning round me it’s funny I never felt a thing
So with the sky all blue why oh why do I feel blue too
Well I never felt green even when springtime hit the leaves
With all that spinning round me its funny, I never felt a thing
So with the sky all blue, with the sky all blue
Oh with the sky all blue, why oh why do I feel blue too
