[Verse 1] What do you say when there's no words left to be said? And you're trapped in your heart, caged in your mind, so afraid What good are our lips and eyes if they're of no use? The screws that once held me together are coming loose [Chorus] But, oh that was you Your short long hair, that was my blues And, oh the sky is true Take me back baby Take me back blue [Verse 2] I said we should paint the town red and you said no Said, "Your beauty lies in your mind and that's pure gold" Look in my eyes to the windows, to my soul You'd stare and you'd look and you'd say you're all I know [Chorus] But, oh that was you Your deep brown eyes, that was my blues And, oh our love was true Take me back baby Take me back blue [Bridge] The ocean, the sky, the tears that we cried so soon You colored my son of a gun that's all you knew Some of the best things in this world are blue Take me back baby Take me back blue [Chorus] And oh, oh, oh, that was you And when you walked away, that was my blues And, oh that was you Take me back baby Take me back blue Take me back baby Take me back blue Take me back baby Take me back blue
