If This Is the Blues, Why Do I Feel So Green?

If this is the blues, why do I feel so green?

If this is the blues, baby, why do I feel so green?

When you said that you loved me, what the hell'd you mean?

Smashed my heart like a bottle across your bow

I said I smashed my poor heart like a bottle across your bow

But on her maiden sail, that ship just ran aground

S'cuse me captain, this ship can not be saved

I said s'cuse me sir but this ship will not be saved

He said "I'm sorry my son but we're going to a watery grave"

As the ship went down, I howled upon your name

Yeah, as the ship went down, I howled upon your name

But my lungs were drowned and the sound just never came

On the bed of the sea, I laid my head and cried

Said on the bed of the sea, I laid my head and cried

And on account of those tears, the sea did surely rise

Well, the water did rise and it knocked upon your door

I said the water did rise and it knocked upon your door

And as you opened your eyes, it stole you from the shore

Now you're here, together we'll forever be

I said now you're here, together we'll forever be

Where the eyes are blue and the sky is a beautiful green

Said where the eyes are blue and the sky is a beautiful green

Where the eyes are blue and the sky is a beautiful green

Yeah, where the eyes are blue and the sky is a beautiful green

Eyes are blue, sky is a beautiful green

Your eyes are blue, the sky is a beautiful green

Your eyes are blue, the sky is a beautiful green
