Blue Songtext
von The Julies

She′s the fading figure
Just beyond the canvas
She holds her head up high in shame
And stretches her skin
So the light can get in
But he'll paint her just the same again
Her eyes are raindrops
He′s frozen still
She smiles
And he says he thinks he will
He says "i think i'll paint you bright
To liven up the saddest night"
But she dreams a voice like trumpets
Begs and says she'd love it
"If you′d only paint me blue"

She says "you can paint me blue"


Outside the night is drunk
And all the stars are stumbling
But she stands so still
Forgetting a wish
And if she drops her eyes
She knows he′ll pick them up
In a brilliant streak of blue
High above the lips
He says
That she's a masterpiece
A freckle on the face of god
And it′s true
So she's painted blue
She′s closer to perfect
Than me or you

She says "you can paint me blue"

And her eyes are floating
And her soul is sinking
But her lips keep striking poses
So he lets her go
This one girl show
He understands
And now she knows it
She begs hang me
Hang me high
On the greyest wall you find
It's the closest thing
You′ll ever get
To what's inside

He drops to his knees
Declares this is art
I painted her blue
To match her heart
