This is a banjo song that I just wrote to play on my first guitar. Yes, I know. “Banjo song to play on my guitar”—sums up my life, fairly well.
Fishy in the Blue
I’m living in a dreamland
The water’s ocean blue
Swimming to the outskirts
Of what I thought was you
But seeing only hard glass
That’s staring back at me
Sad eyes of the morning
Drenched in misery
Aquarium of aqua, and slowly merging green
Aquarium of absence, where you were meant to be
I’m living in a dreamland
Your face is all I know
Staring through the ripples
And watching as you go
Hunting through this glass cage
A sliver through a rock
Waiting for my sweet love
To give my home a knock
You’re shaking up my water
You’re shimmering my world
With all your fancy sparkles
And all your hidden jewels
A cauldron where a prince breathes
A castle undersea
You’re everything this fish needs
To live in luxury
I’m living in a dreamland
Your face is all I know
Staring through the ripples
And watching as you go
Hunting through this glass cage
A sliver through a rock
Waiting for my sweet love
To give my home a knock
There’s seahorses and urchins
And plenitude of schools
There’s suitors at my doorstep
Reciting gratitude
But I ain’t got no interest
Not even ‘nough to look
Too busy staring outward
A mermaid to a hook
I round the laps familiar
Still circling this place
Keep staring through that window
Keep giving love a chase
I’m living in a dreamland
Your face is all I know
Staring through the ripples
And watching as you go
Hunting through this glass cage
A sliver through a rock
Waiting for my sweet love
To give my home a knock
The bubbles they keep floating
Atop this prison cell
Serenading sadness
As far as I can tell
But I can’t stop my twanging
My fins to banjo string
You’re everything I wished for
You give this goldie wings
So sweetie if you’re out there
Beyond this world of mine
Why don’t you come forward
So I can watch you shine
‘Cause I am just a fishy
In everything I do
A little fancy heartache
That’s swimming in the blue
