Blue is the color I need today;
Lost in a smother of gray;
Crazy, I know, for a high-life like me;
Losing your love is the reason, you see. 

Without you here I've lost the sense of time.
Can't make out the meter or the rhyme.
The song is wrong.
 
Lonely's the place where I lie in wait;
Keeping a watch far too late. 
Once there were roses with you by my side.
Cannot replace you, I've tried.

"Just let go" -- that's the sugar they've sold me.
"Just turn the corner", I'm told.
Blue is the color of gold.
