Blue And Grey

One day there was a girl who cried tears of pearls
and her eyes were blue and green like none I've ever seen
And she met a man that night who filled her with delight
and he spoke in poetry and rhyme
and she loved him in no time

But he changed
and then soon he became jealous of her beauty and fame
And he locked her away and he forced her to play
songs that were blue, songs that were grey
Yeah, yeah

So then this lonely girl had, had enough of her world
so she climbed to the top of the tallest tower and stood there for way over an hour
Until she decided she'd jump, so she jumped with a very loud thump
And all of the neighbours, they came out and cried
when they discovered that this poor girl had died
And a boy, he just stood there and gasped at this beauty asleep on the grass
Well, her eyes were like none he had seen
except for the girls in his dreams

Then he changed
and then soon he became depressed and very, very strange
He'd lock himself away for days and days
and play songs that were blue and play songs that were grey
and play songs that reminded him of that day
Yeah, yeah

One day, there was a girl who fell in love with a boy in a different world
and she speaks to him at night, only in a certain light
She wore white when he wore black and they were like a perfect match
And though one was dead and one was alive
Through many years, their love did survive

'Til time faded and soon they became both exactly the same
and they both are floating in the sky singing their own lullaby
of a song of them that reminds them of a past time
a song that reminds them of a past day
a song that is blue and a song that is grey
a song that is blue and a song that is grey
a song that is blue, a song that is grey
