lyrics

"Breaking News Blues" (By Austin Kaufmann & Tamiko Rothhorn)

I put down the paper,
Turn off the screen.
The clouds are out casting shadows.
I’ve seen all I can stand to see.
I haven’t seen the sun Tuesday, and since then, since then,
Since then, it hasn’t come back out again.

It’s another rainy day,
Another rainy night.
The headlines are stormy.
I’ll wait for change at first light.
I haven’t seen the sun Tuesday, and since then, since then,
Since then, it hasn’t come back out again.

The clouds are hanging over me.
Still you are by my side.
Help me find solace in your company.
Remind me not to hide.

So I put down the paper
And kick off my shoes.
Hold you a bit closer.
I’ve got the breaking news blues.
I haven’t seen the sun Tuesday, and since then, since then,
Since then, it hasn’t come back out again.

The clouds are hanging over me.
But we sing on side by side,
And find strength in good company.
Lord knows we cannot hide.
Ain’t no use cryin’ or just staying mad,
We’ll look to open new doors.
All things considered, things ain’t that bad,
Been down this road before.

So pick up that paper.
Lace up those shoes.
It’s time to leave fear behind us
And leave those breaking news blues.
After morning blue, there’s sunrise, and till then, till then,
Till then… we will not rest til then.

The clouds are hanging over me
But we sing on side by side
And find strength in good company.
Lord knows we cannot hide.
Ain’t no use cryin’ or just staying mad,
We’ll look to open new doors.
Can’t bury our heads in the sand
Or be silent no more.

So keep reading that paper.
Lace up those shoes.
It’s time to leave fear behind us.
And leave those breaking news blues,
Those breaking news blues.
Those breaking news blues.
