blue is the feeling
the feeling that you get
blue is the feeling
the feeling that you get
when your life is on the line
and you're down to your last bet
blue is the blood
of the most fortunate of sons
blue is the blood
of all the lucky privileged ones
mine is red and money's green
and you are blue when aint got none
blue is the color
that's why they call it the blues
blue is the color
that's why they call it the blues
you don't know when or where or who
you don't even get to choose
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
blue is the sky
when you look up in the day
black is the night
you got to face it anyway
there aint nothing you can do
but get down on your knees and pray
blue is the sea
listen to that lonesome sound
the waves are washing over me
and they never will be found
all the shipwrecked lonely souls who
were lost at sea and drowned
blue is the color
that's why they call it the blues
blue is the color
that's why they call it the blues
you don't know when or where or who
you don't even get to choose
