Utopia Blues

**An Utopia Blues**

*(Verse 1)*

Woke up this mornin', skies ain't quite the same,

Seas roll in tired, woods lost their name.

War drums whisper in a far-off tune,

But the river still runs beneath the moon.

*(Chorus)*

Oh, these blues from an utopia dream,

Where nothing’s quite as dark as it seems.

We’re breathin’ slow through summer’s heat,

Tryin’ to find where views can meet.

*(Verse 2)*

The trees ain't green like they used to be,

Leaves fall early off the family tree.

Whale songs crackle over plastic waves,

Yet hope is hiding in ocean caves.

*(Chorus)*

Oh, these blues from an utopia dream,

Where nothing’s quite as dark as it seems.

We’re breathin’ slow through summer’s heat,

Tryin’ to find where views can meet.

*(Guitar solo)*

*(Bridge)*

Species droppin’ off like leaves in autumn rain;

Silent forests whisper out their wordless pain.

*(Chorus)*

Oh, these blues from an utopia dream,

Nothing’s quite as dark as it seems.

We’re breathin’ slow through summer’s heat,

Tryin’ to find where views can meet.
