All Colours Fade

I've got these blues coming late at night Always these blues I'm only safe in daylight when my woman's right next to me Love is red, that's all I see But when she leaves all colours fade Blues when she's not there Always these blues As if Jesus just don't care See the tears roll down my face I'm ill and I can't sleep She gives me the blues by not living here And every time I try to tell her that she should be my wife She always replies that she's got other plans with her life She wants to be in charge of a holding company Now I tell you baby: you'd best stay with me I've got these blues coming late at night Always these blues I'm only safe in daylight when my woman's right next to me Love is red, that's all I see But when she leaves Oh, when she leaves But when she leaves all colours fade
