Paint The Red Rose Blue - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/The Imposters

Lyrics by：Elvis Costello

Composed by：Elvis Costello

He was the youngest of five and the only son

He called his wife by a nickname as his father had done

Not the root not the branch not the flower or stem

He had the wildest of dreams but he rarely remembered them

Turn the red rose

Paint the red rose blue

What was he to do

But turn the red rose

Turn the red rose

Paint the red rose blue

What was he to do

But turn the red rose

The words that came to him both the lies and the threats

They arrived all too easily but they ran up some debts

From the thunder of the pulpit to the whispers of a lover

'Til he found that he couldn't tell one from the other

Turn the red rose

Paint the red rose blue

What are we to do

But paint the red rose

Turn the red rose

Paint the red rose blue

What are we to do

But paint the red rose

He haunted the shadows and waited until

They had secrets to sell him and some practical skill

Theatrical blood is convenient to spill

He turned on the light switch and watched her undress

Oh you'd never guess what came next unless

He said All of these hours that I've skulked in the shade

The sun never struck me or made me afraid

Now she and I share unspeakable pain

I have to believe in something in anything

Turn the red rose

Paint the red rose blue

There's nothing left to do

But paint the red rose

Paint the red rose

Turn the red rose blue

There's nothing left to do

But paint the red rose blue
