Just enough blue sky

JUST ENOUGH BLUE SKY (E A D G B E, capo3)

It wasn’t a perfect day; it didn’t have to be. The clouds hung low and grey on the water like an old bed sheet.

The ocean was dark and choppy. I thought I might’ve seen a shark out past the breakers.

But there was just enough blue sky for the sun to poke through.

 

The wind was fresh but steady. I thought if I’m not ready now then I’ll never be.

The sand was cold and my feet were numb. But there was just enough blue sky to catch the sun.

 

It licked my skin and wrapped itself around my bones. Like it was the first time the sun had ever shone. And I couldn’t help but laugh.

 

Because it wasn’t a perfect day but it didn’t have to be. There was just enough blue sky.
