about

Blue is the sky, blue is the sea
Blue is my car, But not me

lyrics

HIGH TIME
music and lyrics © S. Marquis 2014

verse 1
There are many things, I could call a bore
And I could go on, on what’s wrong, not anymore
Now I can see, it’s up to me
What shall I be? The choosing’s free

pre-chorus
I’ve had enough of how it’s so tough
I don’t give a stuff, I’m giving that up

chorus
High time, to leave it behind and take a new line
Isn’t it time? Time I shook these ole blues?
Ain’t no black cats have been doggin me,
I just like to think that they do

verse 2
I’ve been complainin, but nothing’s been changing
So I’m rearranging, the way I’m playin
Now I’m not sweatin, I’m livin and letting
The things that were getting, getting me down
I’m now forgettin

pre-chorus
Self-prepossessed just gets me depressed
It be for the best, to give it a rest

chorus

solo

verse 3
I’m giving the good, whatever will be
And if it should, then the good, it gives to me
My glass is half full, my grass is green,
I’m smellin the roses and living the dream

chorus 2
High time, I opened my eyes,
look at the sun, look at it shine
Isn’t it fine? Not a cloud in sight
Blue is the sky, blue is the sea
Blue is my car, But not me
