Oh my famous heartache
Here you are at my door
Half a year it's been over
Here you come hoping for more
More of that beautiful tension
More of that sweet release
Oh together we did make a lovely and true masterpiece
But given time we all move on
Grieve awhile then let go
Let the new light come shining in
Let the new colours show
'Cos we can't go back to someplace
Someplace we've already been
That's why I know my darling
We can't paint that blue guitar again
Maybe we're still feeling lonely
Maybe we're still feeling sad
But we gave each other
Everything we had
May well have been the best loving
Best loving I've ever known
But the secret to getting it right
Is to know when to leave it alone
And given time we all move on
Grieve awhile then let go
Let the new light come shining in
Let the new colours show
'Cos we can't go back to someplace
Someplace we've already been
That's why I know my darling
We can't paint that blue guitar again
'Cos we can't go back to someplace
Someplace we've already been
That's why I know, why I know my darling
We can't paint that blue guitar again
