Mr Blue... Michael Franks

We touched like watercolour fawns
In landscapes painted by Cezanne
Like lovers floating painted by Chagall
 
                                 Chagall

But you and I were you-I then
We thought the rush would never end
We thought the sky, the sky would never fall
We lived we loved we laughed we cried
We'll never die, and now I think of you
And I change right into Mr Blue
You say your lover buys you lace
I say he's fine, I like his face
I guess you still think love will conquer all
I know, but it's not what you think
I only hope it stays in sync
I only want, I want to wish you well 
 
 
Shadorma

dont feel blue
dont feel too too sad
it's hard times
it's tough times
for all of us at this moment
keep well keep loving

 


 Happy New Year !
