Well the sun's done gone
don't hand me no light
the moon and the man will be rollin' all night
scorpio's up, leadin' old Dan to pasture
and the hours behind are always too few
the miles between can begin to indue
feeling that you never see another like her
CHORUS:
Dan, the lonesome ways and the young and foolish days
and the kid who made the man who'd leave you
with the sink of the ship i'm gonna dip into that hue
till they color me like i colored you
the color of a lonely heart
and the color of a lonely heart is blue
the color of a lonely heart is blue
the color of a lonely heart is blue
the color of a lonely heart is blue
Stars go off like flash pot dots
that spark under candle power and stop
lift up your light 'cause you'll never see a night
that's blacker;
and the weight of it all gets heavier still
time as he crawls will go slower until
scorpio's up, leadin' old Dan to cancer.
