Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Went and took a friend away

Flew away yesterday

The government lies, children died

They still won't heal the core

Is there money to be made of the people's parade?

Sellin' broken hearts outside the door

[Verse 2]

So I'll write something blue

A melody I play for you

I'll sing, yes I'll sing something blue

[Verse 3]

You play the victory like a hurricane memory

Saint James is hanging in the breeze

We turn another cheek in velvet armor chic

We seek for the workers of tomorrow

[Verse 4]

So I'll write something blue

A melody I play for you

I'll sing, yes I'll sing something blue

[Verse 5]

Nobody wants you, something blue

Maybe you'll turn to something blue

Maybe they'll see what the people need today

Let's everybody say

Hey, hey

[Verse 6]

Another smoky rainy day, the magpie's flown away

Searching for love lost along the way

If this beginning has no end

Let the one-man band begin

There's always time to tell another story

[Verse 7]

So I'll write something blue

A melody I play for you

I'll sing, yes I'll sing something blue

Something blue

[Verse 8]

Something blue

Oh, I sing for you

Yeah, something blue

I sing for you

Yeah, sing for you

Something blue
