Elvis Costello — Colour of the Blues

[Verse 1] Up above me are the skies Like the twinkle in your eyes Blue must be the colour of the blues [Verse 2] In the mail, the letters came But you can't pay for love the same Blue must be the colour of the blues [Bridge 1] The bluebird singing in the trees Seems to sympathize with me 'Cause he's not singing like he used to do [Verse 3] Pretty waters in the sea Feel as cold as you left me Blue must be the colour of the blues [Bridge 2] Blue days come and blue days go The way I feel, nobody knows Life is mighty empty without you [Verse 4] There's a blue note in each song That I sing since you've been gone Blue must be the colour of the blues [Verse 4] There's a blue note in each song That I sing since you've been gone Blue must be the colour of the blues
