[Verse]
Blue, blue, my songs are blue
Songs about dreaming, songs about the truth
Songs about leaving and songs about you
And songs about a love affair
[Verse]
I travelled to North Carolina
But I couldnât find my dreams
All of the roads ran in different directions
All of the songs were the same
[Chorus]
Each new day of the week, a new secret to keep
New strings on an old guitar
Call me up anytime, night or day
And we ll both know just where we are
[Verse]
Green, green, it s a landscape scene
Painted by numbers, if you know what I mean
You could have used purple not aquamarine
For your picture of a love affair
[Verse]
You travelled to Indonesia
You sipped India and China tea
If you went away to find yourself
How come you ended up losing me
[Chorus]
Each new day of the week, a new secret to keep
New strings on an old guitar
Call me up anytime, night or day
And we ll both know just where we are
[Verse]
Fool s gold, my dreams are gold
So easy to wake from, much harder to hold
The songs that I sing and the stories I ve told
The stories of a love affair
[Verse]
I travelled to North Carolina
But I couldnât find my dreams
All of the roads ran in different directions
All of the songs were the same
[Verse]
Blue, blue, my songs are blue
Songs about dreaming, songs about the truth
Songs about leaving and songs about you
And songs about a love affair
Songs about a love affair
