Well the sun's done gone
Don't have me no light
Moon and the man'll be rollin' all night
Scorpio's up, bleeding all day into pasture
And the hours behind are always too few;
Miles between can't begin to undo
The feeling that you will never see another like her

Damn the lonesome ways
And the young and foolish days
And the kid who made the man who'd leave you
With the sink of a ship
I'm gonna dip into that hue
'til they color me like I colored you:
The color of a lonely heart
The color of a lonely heart is blue

GUITAR SOLO

Stars go off like flash-pot dots;
The sparkle of the candle power is stark
Lift up your light
'Cause you'll never see a night that's blacker
And the weight of it all gets heavier still
Time (as?) it crawls a little slower until
Scorpio's up, bleeding all day into Cancer
Damn the lonesome ways
And the young and foolish days
And the kid who made the man who'd leave you
With the sink of a ship
I'm gonna dip into that hue
'til they color me like I colored you:
The color of a lonely heart
The color of a lonely heart is blue
