Black and Blue

Where’d you go my little amore

With your sad cleopatra eyes

I wish that happiness would end your strife

I looked for you in Campo di Fiore

I know that it’s your favourite place

Ordinary people going about their day

I wish you’d come back from tomorrow

Lie down and rest your head

We’ll sweep those crazy notions

From underneath the bed

See the stars up through the skylight

They’re gonna light your way

There’s all this love for you so don’t ever be afraid

You’re black and blue and you don’t know

Which is up and which is down

You’re black and blue like you’ve been stoned

Caught in a crossfire all alone

For some of us nothing comes easy

We have to fight our way

But that can wear you down

And leave you in a state

I know it’s hard fighting your corner

When it’s just you and a child

This world is tough and yes, this world is wild

You’re black and blue and you don’t know

Which is up and which is down

You’re black and blue like you’ve been stoned

Caught in a crossfire all alone
