XTC - Blue in Paradise lyrics

rate me

(co-written by andy partridge and tracey bryn of voice of the beehive)

Silver lining changed to grey skies

When a red-eyed angel waved goodbye

In my lifetimeI may find him once again to my surprise

I'll wait herepatiently and you may just return to find me

Chorus:

Blue in paradisethe paint runs down

Just like my teardrops

Blue in paradiseI'll paint the town

Until the hurt stops

Make a wish on every rainbow for the colours to reappear

Green with envywishing you homered faced mad I wait alone

I'll stay hereone day dear you may just return to find me

Chorus

And if you returnnothing will be different

And if you returnnothing really will have changed

The red of my heart is black and blue now

Broken up and dragged around

I'll lay my dreams all down to sleep here

I'll close my eyes to hear no sound

I'm cryin'I'm dyin'

But I will hold my breath

'til you find me
