Colour Of The Blues

by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Lyrics
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 singing in the trees
Seems to sympathize with me
'Cause he's not singing 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 mighty 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
