Lyrics Old 97’s – Color Of A Lonely Heart Is Blue

Well the sun’s done gone,
Don’t have me no light.
Moon and the man’ll be rollin’ all night.
Scorpio’s up, bleeding all day into pasture.

Damn the lonesome ways
And the young and foolish days
And the kid who made the man who’d leave you.
With the sink of a ship,
I’m gonna dip into that hue
’til they color me like I colored you:
the color of a lonely heart.
The color of a lonely heart is blue.
x4

Stars go off like flash-pot dots;
The sparkle of the candle power is stark.
Lift up your light
‘Cause you’ll never see a night that’s blacker.
And the weight of it all gets heavier still.
Time (as?) it crawls a little slower until
Scorpio’s up, bleeding all day into Cancer.

Damn the lonesome ways
And the young and foolish days
And the kid who made the man who’d leave you.
With the sink of a ship,
I’m gonna dip into that hue
’til they color me like I colored you:
the color of a lonely heart.
