"Blue Lady" lyrics

"Blue Lady"

Blue Lady, blue in your hair
Butterfly glasses, unsensible shoes
Gin on your table, a small one to start
Rings on your fingers, a drink for your heart

Blue Lady, pardon if I stare
I hope that somewhere, somebody cares

Blue Lady, secrets inside
You stay 'till it's closing, isn't eyes wide
Blue Lady, a mother may be
A son or a daughter, is where you should be

Blue Lady, pardon if I stare
I hope that somewhere, somebody cares

I watch you, I've got you
Well maybe that's true
But Blue Lady, I may be wrong about you
Blue Lady, the way we see each other
We discover
Secrets in ourselves
Understanding bells ring
Or maybe imagine

Blue Lady, how would it be
If I came to keep you company
But Blue Lady, sad if it's true
That's something that strangers just don't do

So Blue Lady, pardon if I stare
I hope that somewhere, somebody cares
