Blue in Paradise

(co-written by Andy Partridge and Tracey Bryn of Voice
of the Beehive) 

Silver lining changed to grey skies 
When a red-eyed angel waved goodbye 
In my lifetime, I may find him once again to my
surprise 
I'll wait here, patiently and you may just return to
find me 

Chorus: 
Blue in Paradise, the paint runs down 
Just like my teardrops 
Blue in Paradise, I'll paint the town 
Until the hurt stops 

Make a wish on every rainbow for the colours to
reappear 
Green with envy, wishing you home, red faced mad I
wait alone 
I'll stay here, one day dear you may just return to
find me 

Chorus 

And if you return, nothing will be different 
And if you return, nothing really will have changed 
The red of my heart is black and blue now 
Broken up and dragged around 

I'll lay my dreams all down to sleep here 
I'll close my eyes to hear no sound 
I'm cryin', I'm dyin' 
But I will hold my breath 
'Til you find me
