Blue, blue is the color of skies
Blue is the color of your eyes
Your beautiful blue eyes
Black, black is the color you wore
Black is the promise you made
Before you closed the door
And never told me why

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

You, you used to sleep by my side
You swore you had nothing to hide
And now there's nothing left to lose
Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue
Down in the depths of your soul
I hear the echo and the sigh
That your secrets cannot hide

(spoken:) They never lie to me, come on

Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue
Broken in two because of you

I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue
Black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
