ELVIS COSTELLO - Too Blue lyrics

rate me

There may be a break in the road

The future looks drab and dreary

But if you were here with me, dear

I'd spin you a line that's far from cheer

There's always some scribe

Who's taken the bribe

Describing some Gentleman Jim

Who says he's in love with a beautiful girl

But she don't care about him

Say what you do

That sky is much to blue

You'll know sorrow

That's deeper than the ocean

It's a pitiful chain of events

You'd think that I might have more sense

He says

"The birds in the braches may whistle and croon

"But they're singing out of tune"

There may be bend in the track

But if you come back to see me

I'll be waiting patiently here

And if you believe that then I fear

There's always some clown

Who's bringing me down

By humming a tragic refrain

He says he's in love with a beautiful girl

But he doesn't know her name
