Well the sun's done gone don't hand me no light
 The moon and the man will be rolling all night
 Scorpio's up, a-leadin’ ol’ Dan to pasture.
 The hours behind are always too few
 The miles between can't begin to undo
 The feeling that you will never see another like her.
 
 Damn the lonesome ways and the young and foolish days
 And the kid who made the man who'd leave you.
 So with the sink of the ship, I'm going to dip into that hue
 'til I color me like I colored you,
 
 The color of a lonely heart
 And the color of a lonely heart is blue.
 The color of a lonely heart
 And the color of a lonely heart is blue.
 The color of a lonely heart
 And the color of a lonely heart is blue.
 
 GUITAR SOLO
 
 Stars go off like flash-pot dots that sparkle under candle power and stop
 Lift up your light ‘cause you'll never see a night that's blacker.
 And the weight of it all gets heavier still.
 And time as it crawls will go slower until
 Scorpio's up, a-leadin’ ol’ Dan to Cancer.
 
 Damn the lonesome ways and the young and foolish days,
 And the kid who made the man who'd leave you.
 So with the sink of the ship, I'm gonna dip into that hue
 'til I color me like I colored you:
 
 The color of a lonely heart
 And the color of a lonely heart is blue.
 The color of a lonely heart
 And the color of a lonely heart is blue.
 The color of a lonely heart
 And the color of a lonely heart is blue.
