Just skippin' stones on Broadway
After the rain
All the pretty little colors got washed away
What a cheap set of finger paints! Anyway...
So you turn deep inside just tryin'
To discern the color of your heart
When it's done its bleedin' and cryin'
Why does your color wheel keep on breakin' down and fallin' apart on you?
The color of your heart runs in a shade of blue
Yeah life is hard when your love is true
They say it's fadin' but they misconstrue
You're just a deeper shade of blue
Do you remember just where we, honey
We saw the rainbow's end?
Two pink blossoms of a cherry tree
Wet and desperately tryin' to take off in the wind
Then the city was like emerald
Not all cold and grey
When will the colors be bright like that again?
Well sugarplum, you might just have to wait
For your color wheel to come around
See that love is real, somewhere, somehow
I know you feel down and out
But together we're gonna paint the town blue
The color of your heart runs in a shade of blue
Yeah life is hard when your love is true
They say it's fadin' but they misconstrue
You're just a deeper shade of blue
