Blue, so blue, was your love, that I held and pursued
And true, so true, the black hand
Oh it takes you back

And you turn to a figure
In the light, no wait but you turn back
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
Oh, oh, oh, oh…

And we danced in diamond dust
Oh and we danced in diamond dust

Oh Black, oh black, and blue, I was when I left you
A figment, of the past, a battered highway
Cow skulls marking death
Baby's breath and dried misery
You left on my door
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
Oh, oh, oh, oh……

And we danced so hard, that the cold, cold black rain fell
And the blood on the ground, on the ground, washed away
And your body was gone, and it left no trace
But a trail of ash has led me to this dark place

Did you see in the way that she did run run?
Faster than anyone
Away from that snake eyed mule of a man
Yes you can, yes you can, yes you can
Yes you can, yes you can, yes you can…

Blue, so blue, was your love, that I held and pursued
And true, so true, the black hand, oh it takes you back
