Blue

written by Lucinda Williams
 
Go find a jukebox and see what a quarter will do 
I don't wanna talk I just wanna go back to blue 
Feed's me when I'm hungry and quenches my thirst 
Loves me when I'm lonely and thinks of me first 
Blue is the color of night 
When the red sun 
Disappears from the sky 
Raven feathers shiny and black 
A touch of blue glistening down her back 
We don't talk about heaven and we don't talk about hell
We come to depend on one another so damn well
So go to confession whatever gets you through
You can count your blessings I'll just count on blue 
Blue is the color of night 
When the red sun 
Disappears from the sky 
Raven feathers shiny and black 
A touch of blue glistening down her back
