Harry Connick, Jr. - Buried In Blue lyrics

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 brush strokes dry i hear a band playing
A bent note or two i guess someone died
And just wants to be buried in blue
