Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Colour

I don't care what they say

I do care what I do

That's why you can stand by me

I will always stand by you

Oh believe me child

I'll stand by you to be sure

I will stand by you yes I will

Took all my sunshine left me out in the rain

Took all my pleasure left me this pain

You took my rainbow and left me only blue

I know you did

Stole my colours and left me only blue

Took me for a loser took my money too

Stole my apaloosa the bitches don't like horses either

Took all my colur tried to leave me with blue sweet blue

Stole my little painting box one day and left me blue

Oh try to take all my future leave me the past

Tried to take all my in between and leave me to last

Took all my colurs left me blue

That's what you did

Took all my coloured sky and left me only blue

Took every chance every liberty too

You're bored of romance and my heart's shot straight through

Stolen all my colours only got my deep deep blue

All my colours have gone and left me with blue in my heart

Took all the credit and left me the blame

Basked in the glory while you left me in shame

Took all my colours still left me my blues sweet blue

Took all my colours still got my little boy blue

I don't care what they say

And I do care about everything I do

Oh stand by me you know I will stand by you

All the way

Stand by me, I, I will stand by you ah yeah

Stole all my colour and only got my deep deep blue

Saved my colours child, try to leave me with the blue only blue

I don't care what they say but I do care what I do

I don't care what they say I'm gonna stay in here

Stand by me and I will stand by you
