Lyrics John Martyn – Colour

I don’t care what they say
I do care what I do
That’s why you can stand by me
I will always stand by you

Took all my sunshine left me out in the rain
Took all my pleasure left me this pain
You took my rainbow and left me only blue
I know you did
Stole my colours and left me only blue

Took me for a loser took my money too
Stole my apaloosa the bitches don’t like horses either
Took all my colur tried to leave me with blue sweet blue
Stole my little painting box one day and left me blue

Oh try to take all my future leave me the past
Tried to take all my in between and leave me to last
Took all my colurs left me blue
That’s what you did
Took all my coloured sky and left me only blue

Took every chance every liberty too
You’re bored of romance and my heart’s shot straight through
Stolen all my colours only got my deep deep blue
All my colours have gone and left me with blue in my heart

Took all the credit and left me the blame
Basked in the glory while you left me in shame
Took all my colours still left me my blues sweet blue
Took all my colours still got my little boy blue

I don’t care what they say

Stole all my colour and only got my deep deep blue
Saved my colours child, try to leave me with the blue only blue
I don’t care what they say but I do care what I do
I don’t care what they say I’m gonna stay in here
Stand by me and I will stand by you
