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

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] 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
