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
