Blue Lyrics by Joni Mitchell

Love Has Many Faces: A Quartet, A Ballet, Waiting to Be Danced

1971

[Verse 1]
Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away

[Verse 2]
Hey, Blue, there is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in

[Chorus]
Well, there's so many sinking now
You gotta keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs

[Bridge]
Everybody's saying that
Hell's the hippest way to go
Well, I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it, though
Blue, I love you

[Verse 3]
Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me
