If This Is the Blues, Why Do I Feel So Green?

If this is the blues, why do I feel so green?
If this is the blues, baby, why do I feel so green?
When you said that you loved me, what the hell'd you mean?
Smashed my heart like a bottle across your bow
I said I smashed my poor heart like a bottle across your bow
But on her maiden sail, that ship just ran aground

S'cuse me captain, this ship can not be saved
I said s'cuse me sir but this ship will not be saved
He said "I'm sorry my son but we're going to a watery grave"
As the ship went down, I howled upon your name
Yeah, as the ship went down, I howled upon your name
But my lungs were drowned and the sound just never came

On the bed of the sea, I laid my head and cried
Said on the bed of the sea, I laid my head and cried
And on account of those tears, the sea did surely rise
Well, the water did rise and it knocked upon your door
I said the water did rise and it knocked upon your door
And as you opened your eyes, it stole you from the shore

Now you're here, together we'll forever be
I said now you're here, together we'll forever be
Where the eyes are blue and the sky is a beautiful green
Said where the eyes are blue and the sky is a beautiful green
Where the eyes are blue and the sky is a beautiful green
Yeah, where the eyes are blue and the sky is a beautiful green

Eyes are blue, sky is a beautiful green
Your eyes are blue, the sky is a beautiful green
Your eyes are blue, the sky is a beautiful green
