LYRICS

He stum bled in to faith and (Bb)thought,

“God, this is (F)all

The pic tures in his mind a rose

and be gan

And all the gods and all the worlds be gan col lid ing on a back (C)drop (Dm)of (Bdim)blue.

(Gm)Blue (F)lips,

blue (Dm)veins.

He took a step but then felt (Bb)tired,

he said I’ll rest

a lit tle (C)while.

But when he tried to walk a gain,

he (F)was n’t

a (C)child.

And all the peo ple hur ried fast, real fast, and no one ev er smiled.

(Gm)Blue (F)lips, blue (Dm)veins.

Blue, the col or of our (C)plan et from (Dm)far, far a way.
