Lyrics:

Paint Me Blue

You can paint the sky a stormy grey
Paint the stars all gone away
Paint the streets so sad and only
Paint a man, lost and lonely

You can paint the sun behind the clouds
Paint the rain always around
Paint the children who laugh and play
Paint them gone, they’re far away

But more than that, here’s what to do
No rainbow colors of every hue
Since you left me
Just paint me blue, blue, blue…

You can paint the birds that never sing
Paint a phone that never rings
You can paint a smile upon my face
But that smile’d be so out of place

You can paint my heart all black and blue
Paint a man who’s been such a fool
Paint a love that’s had its run
Paint a wrong that can’t be undone

But most of all whatever you do
Paint these tears upon my face
Cause since you left me
Just paint me blue, blue, blue… (blue blue blue)

You can paint the sky …a stormy grey
Paint the stars…all gone away
Paint the streets…so sad and only
Paint a man…lost and lonely

Paint my heart…all black and blue
Paint a man…who’s been such a fool
Paint a love…that’s had its run
Paint a wrong…that can’t be undone

But most of all whatever you do
Paint these tears upon my face
Cause since you left me
Just paint me blue, blue, blue…
(Since you left me)
Paint me blue blue blue… (blue on blue)
Well, I’ve been bluer than blue…
Paint me blue, blue, blue… (blue and blue)
