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 I travelled to North Carolina But I couldn't find my dreams All of the roads ran in different directions All of the songs were the same 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 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 You travelled to Indonesia You sipped India and China tea If you went away to find yourself How come you ended up losing me 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 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 I travelled to North Carolina But I couldn't find my dreams All of the roads ran in different directions All of the songs were the same 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
