Blue Lyrics

Go find a jukebox
And see what a quarter will do
I don't want to talk
I just want to go back to Blue

Feeds 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 sound 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've 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

Lucinda Williams is known to defend her reputation as a control freak, but sometimes even she admits it's better to take a step back, which was the case with this song. She told Guitar World Acoustic: "I wanted to go back and recut my vocal for 'Blue' because I thought it sounded scratchy and tired. But when I tried, I had to admit that what was already there felt right for the song."

Blue Lyrics

Where have all my friends gone?
They've all disappeared.
Turned around maybe one day, you're all that was there.
Stood by on believing, stood by on my own.
Always thought I was someone, turned out I was wrong.
And you brought me through and you made me feel so Blue,
Why don't you stay behind?
So blue. Why don't you stop, and look at what's going down.

If I had an old woman she'd never sell me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone who won't sing with you.
Give all of my mercy, give all of my heart.
Never thought that I'd miss you, that I'd miss you so much.
And you brought me through and you made me feel so blue.
Why don't you stay behind?
So blue.
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down.

All my life (staying while) I'm waiting for (staying while)
Someone I could (waiting around) show the door
(now that I'm blue) but nothing seems to change (that I'm blue from now on)
You come back that month so blue.
Why don't you stay behind?
So blue.
Why don't you, why don't you stay behind?
So blue.
Why don't you, why don't you stay behind?
So blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's down

Blue Song Chart

At a 2012 solo concert in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Gary Louris was asked by an audience member about the dual vocals on the bridge. Louris explained that he and co-writer Mark Olson each had an idea about what to sing and were too stubborn to let the other guy have his way. They each sang their bridges and just put them together.
