Lyrics:

The title track on Joni Mitchell’s masterpiece 1971 album, Blue. The song touches on depression, general sadness and the ways people use to escape from them told over a beautiful piano melody.
Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away

Hey, Blue, there is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in

Well, there's so many sinking now
You gotta keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs

Everybody's saying that
Hell's the hippest way to go
Well, I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it, though
Blue, I love you

Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me
