It's been a long hard day I've earned my pay And now I'm trying to unwind And now I know What I must do I'm in a turquoise frame of mind
The sky is black Beyond the blue But if you could look behind I know that you Just like me Would find a turquoise frame of mind
It's the colour of sunshine Through a shallow sea It's the colour of love, baby Protecting me And when I go to Heaven, if I do I know I'll find All the angels sitting around In a turquoise frame of mind
All those Kings And all those Queens Back through the mists of time With all their slaves And precious things They had a turquoise frame of mind
But I've got you And I've got this And I'm still heading down the line The simple pleasure Of a kiss And a turquoise frame of mind
It's the colour of sunshine...
Old Shylock's girl She sold his ring And it nearly drove him blind She got a monkey But he just lost His turquoise frame of mind
