Mood Indigo Songtext
von Raya Yarbrough
Mood Indigo Songtext
What now, what is this we′ve started?
Don't know what, but I just can′t seem to let it go
Give me what you want, give me nothing of you at all
'Cause I can't have one more night holding you halfway in my arms
I try, try to swing with the flow
I′m doing what I can
My heart is bolder than my better judgment
And my mind knows what my eyes show
My heart is filled up with indigo
Take a breather out underneath the stars with me
And we can give all of our attention to the stellar scene
Innocently and with abandon, but in time
We know what will be
There′ll be passions of violets
And embraces of fast scarlet
But there's still one passion alone that never seems to let me be
And it′s the same expression that you always bring alive in me
Boy, you sure complicate my heart
Time and time again, you say that you're blue
Boy, you don′t know the start
Hey, let me break it down right here for you
You ain't been blue, no, no, no
You ain′t been blue
'Til you found that new indigo
In the evening, when the lights are low
I'm just bluer than the blue
Only fair I oughta let you know
Oh, my baby, heaven knows you′ve seen me cry
Don′t know what I'm feeling
But, love, I think we′ll understand it better by and by
Don't know what, but I just can′t seem to let it go
Give me what you want, give me nothing of you at all
'Cause I can't have one more night holding you halfway in my arms
I try, try to swing with the flow
I′m doing what I can
My heart is bolder than my better judgment
And my mind knows what my eyes show
My heart is filled up with indigo
Take a breather out underneath the stars with me
And we can give all of our attention to the stellar scene
Innocently and with abandon, but in time
We know what will be
There′ll be passions of violets
And embraces of fast scarlet
But there's still one passion alone that never seems to let me be
And it′s the same expression that you always bring alive in me
Boy, you sure complicate my heart
Time and time again, you say that you're blue
Boy, you don′t know the start
Hey, let me break it down right here for you
You ain't been blue, no, no, no
You ain′t been blue
'Til you found that new indigo
In the evening, when the lights are low
I'm just bluer than the blue
Only fair I oughta let you know
Oh, my baby, heaven knows you′ve seen me cry
Don′t know what I'm feeling
But, love, I think we′ll understand it better by and by
