Blue, blue is the colour

Blue, blue is the colour of your eyes

When you've been crying and you're tired of trying to be someone you don't know

Blue is the colour

Blue, blue is the colour of the sky

Before its tainted by the clouds that seem to build up in your mind when you're too busy looking down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down, down

Blue, blue is the colour

Below the bridge the canal cuts a ribbon of impossible blue through the grey

As cloudless skies are mirrored

And sun shimmers on water

Grey clouds gather overhead and the black and white of a magpie in flight

Makes for a monochrome road ahead

And beneath black Delph

Tears fall

Then, bursting through towpath cracks you spot the resilient blue of

Forget-me-not

And you begin to remember all the things you never even knew you forgot

You realise you've lived your life looking but not seeing

So you shift your view

And lift your eyes

To a sky that is blue

Blue, blue is the colour

Blue, blue is the colour of the space in between of what you cant see and what you just don't know

Blue, blue is the colour

Blue

When you stop looking at the sky

To find your way back to the light

Blue is the colour
