Lyrics
Black and Blue World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never want to fight the lonely fight
Never want to talk all night
Never want to feel the heat of battle
Warning warning
Chorus ~
Shipmates on icy blue waters
Come be my bride on the sea
She gives me no quarter
My mistress my girl
Here in this black and blue world
Never make the effort any more
There's no welcome at the door
Desolation angel
Watching waiting
Chorus
Heaven's always full of black and blue angels
Heaven only helps the ones who help themselves
We don't go calling bruising and balling
Here in our black and blue world
Chorus +
Be my bride
Be my bride
Chorus +
Never want to fight the lonely fight
Never want to talk all night
