Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »

Up above me are the skies
Like the twinkle in your eyes
Blue must be the color of the blues
In the mail, the letters came
But you can`t pay for love the same
Blue must be the color of the blues

The bluebird singin` in the trees
Seems to sympathize with me
`Cause he`s not singin` like he used to do
Pretty waters in the sea
Feel as cold as you left me
Blue must be the color of the blues

Blue days come and blue days go
The way I feel, nobody knows
Life is finally empty without you
There`s a blue note in each song
That I sing since you've been gone
Blue must be the color of the blues
