[Verse 1]
Sometimes the sun shines in
And I close the blinds
'Cos I can't stand to see the light of day
I have no use for pain
But I don't mind the rain
'Cos I can stare outside and hear the sound (sound)
Today I looked right down, right down to the ground
With nothing in between to break my fall
I'm blue for you, I'm blue for you
I don't know what to do

[Chorus 1]
Gotta form a plan of attack
Can't stop to look back I know
You are so far from here
Gotta be strong in my mind
Not encroach on your time I know that
That would be wrong for sure

[Verse 2]
I must get out and about
Of that I have no doubt
There surely must be new places to go
Sights I've never seen
All with pastures green
'Cos the old ones are making me blue for you (you)
'Cos I'm blue for you, I'm blue for you
I don't know what to do
And I'm blue for you, I'm blue for you
I don't know what to do

[Chorus 2]
Gotta form a plan of attack
Climb back on the track I know
Bid my devil friend good-bye
Hope I'm still in the race
But I don't know what to chase oh no
And you're still so far from here

[Outro]
The sun it still shines in
And I shall close the blinds
'Cos I know I won't see you anymore, see you anymore
And I'm blue for you, I'm blue for you
I don't know what to do
'Cos I'm blue for you, blue for you
I don't know what to do
I don't know
I could take a big jump
