Lyrics

She Dreams in Blue (sequel to "The Pawnbroker's Stepdaughter")

The tiptoes on the bedroom floor
These quiet eyes are spinning in the dark
The secret wish that none will know
She keeps it locked up in her pale heart

    Wait for it, it's tired and it's true
    Wait for it, it's all she ever knew

    She dreams in blue
    Wait for it, it's all she ever knew

The background hum of city streets
And whispers from the neighbors intertwine
The distant glow of beacon lights are 
Breaking through the cracks between the blinds

    Wait for it, it's hiding out of view
    Wait for it, it's all she ever knew

    She dreams in blue
    Wait for it, it's all she ever knew

She opens up her weary eyes
The foggy cloud of vision fills the air
She strains to make some sense of all the
Abstract shapes and colors everywhere

But all the blue just fades away dissolving in a haze of grey
And lost inside her empty mind is everything she tried to find
And all the blue just fades away, she lost it in a haze of grey

    She dreams in blue
    Wait for it, it's all she ever knew

Tablature

Tuning: 

Hmm. This is a tough one to explain. Start with E-A-D-F#-A-E. 
Then put a capo on the first fret. 
Then put another capo on the third fret, 
but rig it so that only the bottom four strings are clamped (leave the A-E on top open).
