Colour of the Blues Songtext
von Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
Blue must be the colour of the blues
In the mail, the letters came but you can′t pay for love the same
Blue must be the colour of the blues


The bluebird singin' in the trees seems to sympathize with me
′Cause he's not singin' like he used to do
Pretty waters in the sea feel as cold as you left me
Blue must be the colour of the blues

Blue days come and blue days go, the way I feel, nobody knows
Life is finally empty without you
There′s a blue note in each song that I sing since you′ve been gone
Blue must be the colour of the blues
There's a blue note in each song that I sing since you′ve been gone
Blue must be the colour of the blues
