Paint It a Mellow Blue Lyrics

There's a pair of eyes tonight looking down from the city sky

Like the eyes of a lover that knows when you're not true

There's a fire in the hills tonight a faraway flame burning bright

When I see that flame so much like your heart

I know there will never be another quite like you, no other quite like you

My friends are scattered far and wide, Minnesota to the Great Divide

They're in my dreams and I pray i'm in theirs too

The only thing there is is love

Everything else is just fragments in a broken mirror

Day by day your childhood mind, you leave it farther behind

And all the while the sun keeps getting near, the sun keeps getting nearer

Saturday my favorite day, I walk to the fields and play

It frees my mind from the vines and the merciless mire

So many things I never meant to say

A lot of weight pushed against the grain

But the river you know it only flows one way, it only flows one way

The river bends toward it's goal, to the sea or so i'm told

So I'll ride that river until my days are through

Together we walk this weary world

Hand in hand boy meets girl

You were meant for me and I was meant for you

Lord knows I was meant for you

And her heart is pure and clean, dancing through a dreamer's dream

And no other heart on earth could be more true

Like a locomotive runs on steam, she moves through me and it seems

She could take all the pain in the world and paint it blue

Paint it a mellow blue...paint it a mellow blue...paint it a mellow blue
