💙 Shadow

# BLUE SHADOW

Intro – Spoken

Five-thirty, sleepy eyes,

Bluey, Blacktail, breakfast time!

Down to Mama's garden I go,

One missed step—and down below!

Verse 1

I landed sideways, saw the stars,

Bruised my knee and earned some scars.

Two hungry cats just stared at me,

"Where's our breakfast? Hurry, please!"

So I fed them, limped away,

Had a meeting later that day.

Two thousand steps and five hundred more,

A heavy bag and a foot so sore.

Chorus

Blue Shadow, Blue Shadow,

I'm moving slowly, taking it slow!

Blue Shadow, Blue Shadow,

I took a fall, but I've got hope!

A little bruised, a little blue,

I'll find my rhythm and make it through!

Verse 2

Ate Mau said, "Rest that foot!"

My husband said, "Get it checked!"

The X-ray clinic closed that night,

So I worked from home and held on tight.

Next day an audit, then a meal,

Still pretending I could heal.

At last the X-ray told the truth:

"A fractured foot!" Well, there's the proof!

Chorus

Blue Shadow, Blue Shadow,

I'm moving slowly, taking it slow!

Blue Shadow, Blue Shadow,

I took a fall, but I've got hope!

A little bruised, a little blue,

I'll find my rhythm and make it through!

Bridge

Sometimes the bravest thing to do

Is rest and let the healing through.

Bluey, Blacktail, stay with me,

There's more to life than rushing feet.

Outro

Blue Shadow, skies of blue,

One day at a time, I'll make it through.

A little less rushing, a little more living,

Still here, still smiling, still giving!
