Blue looks like the ocean
At morning's first light
Or the dark, dusky sky,
Tucked in for the night.
At morning's first light
Or the dark, dusky sky,
Tucked in for the night.
Blue smells like an iris
On warm, summer days
Or the sweet scent of clover
That's made into hay.
On warm, summer days
Or the sweet scent of clover
That's made into hay.
Blue tastes like a grape
That's tender and sweet
Or like juicy, tart berries
The birds love to eat.

| A Western Scrub Jay visited today |
Blues sounds like the tone
Of pansies all singing
Or tinkling bells
In heaven a'ringing.

Blue feels like true lovers
Ere soon to part,

Or the depths of a lonely
Wanderer's heart.
