lyrics

Out of nothing
Comes something
‘Til the opposite is true
Everyday is a play unwritten
I’ve been lying here trying here
If only you knew
That in the smoke I’d choke
I’d be bitten

When the world wears me down
And everything is a mess
I dance a waltz
With a lady in a dark blue dress

Paradise
Would be nice
But I can’t think that way
I’d stew
Much ado
About nothing
Can you see the little trees
As they struggle to stay
Awake as they bake in an oven

When the world wears me down
And I don’t feel my best
I’m in the clouds
With the lady in a dark blue dress

Every road
Is closed
‘Cept the one that I’m on
No choice
No voice
Nothing sadder
It’s a shame
And it’s lame
But you’ve got to stay strong
You’ve got to rise
And realize
It doesn’t matter



When the world wears me down
And there’s a pain in my chest
I make love
To the lady in a dark blue dress

I’m your friend
‘Til the end
In this rest assured
I’ll be there
And I’ll care
If I’m able
When you’re burning
And you’re turning
Toward the face that is cured
Think hard
And put your cards
On the table

When the world wears me down
And everything is a mess
I dance a waltz
With a lady in a dark blue dress

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
