Mood Indigo
You ain't been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.
In the evenin' when lights are low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.
-Duke Ellington

Well, I saw the purple mood, but as I don't know Mood Indigo, well.. [straight over head e] Although "I'm so lonesome I could cry." rang a bell; wasn't that a song by Willie Nelson or somebody? But, here's something for when the cloud lifts. I have a special fondness for this song: I was probably about 20, when I stayed to help clean up after my aunt-and-uncle's 50th. anniversary party down in Tennessee. My cousin and her husband gave me a ride back to the house, and on the way he sang that song. I hadn't realized before what a genial (ha--his name's Gene!) man he was, and I was so pleased. But I remember being surprised that such an "old man" would know that song--he must have been 45, at the outside!
I Can See Clearly Now
Jonnhy Nash
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin’ for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there’s nothin’ but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin’ but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
[another straight over head e] I have no idea what reaping and sowing have to do with Halloween.

Thanks for covering my back, tsuwm. I'll take you for my second any day  [indigo]mood[/indigo] gets you nothing around here anyway. Actually, Betsy, I typed in purple so it's not even violet either. [/NitpickADay]
