So Blue

Standing in a bright lit room

strangers all around me

To the spot my feet were glued

before the Lac d'Annecy

I walked around then I came back

and stood there lost in wonder

Nothing else there could attract

the rest were only pictures

So blue, so blue, so blue

I waited on a cold highway

throwing stones and singing

A man he took me all the way

right through to Central Station

Where have you been? he said to me

I've been down to the gallery

What did you see? he said to me

I saw the Lac d'Annecy

And it was so blue, so blue, so blue

Now colour constructs every line

and the more every link is made fine

the stronger the net will be

Every day he left his wife

to wrestle with his lover

A hundred ways Mont St. Victoire

and each time starting over

Now Pablo's work was child's play

and Henri did it faster

But the slow old grizzly bear

was their only master

So blue, so blue, so blue
