Buried In Blue Lyrics

by Ramsey McLean 

The sun sets red with rage 

White clouds float by 

Like high cotton 

Blank as an empty page 

Blue is a color buried 

Not forgotten 

Sweet as mother's milk 

And clear as the wind 

Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk 

Blue is the color to be buried in 

When you left 

Leaving nothing behind 

There's no one to blame 

No criminal, no crime 

You can report a missing person 

But not a stolen heart 

And I'm missing a person 

To whom stealing was an art 

The painting's complete 

The brushstrokes dry 

I hear a band playing 

A bent note or two 

I guess someone died 

And just wants to be 

Buried in blue
