lyrics

the curtain stayed up on our three act romance
we didn't sleep so we'd more time to dance
scenes set at moonrise, the sun's early glances
first coloured us red-eyed and blue

our second act was a radio play
phoned-in performances three times a day
walking the line versus playing away
would leave one of us red-eyed and blue

red-eyed and blue over you
red-eyed and blue over you
my rainbow's colours are down to just two
I'm red-eyed and blue over you

all her friends said he would ramble and roam
but her infidelity started at home
what could he do? red-eyed and blue
tried to get even but only got more
red-eyed and blue over you

picture the scene in some heartache hotel
no pool but whisky and where his tears fell
sounds like the neighbours are getting on well
as the red neon light turns to blue

daytime and sunshine a porch and a swing
older and greyer he still feels the sting
given the chance would he do the same thing?
and he laughs but his eyes say it's true

red-eyed and blue over you
red-eyed and blue over you
my rainbow's colours are down to just two
I'm red-eyed and blue over you
