Blue Devils Drowned in the Blues

Happening just once in a blue moon,
It’s such a rare case as the blue-eyed soul:
Once, out of the blue
Blue devils come all over you –
Then you can try till you’re blue in the face
But you won’t find any solace:
Neither in the blue of the sea, nor the one of the sky, nor on the earth…

Yes, you can fight it, or you can yield to it –
None proves effective.
Don’t torment yourself choosing ‘tween the devil and the deep blue sea
When feeling blue, just listen to the blues –
It will cure the wounds of your heart, it will soothe.
