Chromatic Blues
she said that yellow didn't suit
said she was leavin' me to boot
took all her shoes, of most the hues
'n' she left me nothin' but the blues
her lighter smiled hues of amethyst,
she left the blue but took the rest
that purplish-red jus' left my head
'n' she left me nothin' but the blues
her red soo hot, it fired my desire
she took that too, no more to eye her
ain't nothin to do - desire's taboo
she's left me nothin' but the blues
took her magenta in my absentia
I came to empty home to find she
crayoned me a goodbye memoranda
left colored in the goodbye blues
she said that emerald was her thing,
the thing was, she liked the green
took all our jack, 'n' left me slack
she left me nothin' but the blues
now she's gone like fifty shades
hued ghostly remembrance slowly fades
wishin' white was black won't get 'er back
I'm left with nothin' but the blues
