Bombay Blue

A baby, young and sweet A Maharashtra night, a city street And I feel low Hear her crying in her sleep A blanket of newspaper sheets By my window There's no worse sound that I could hear Or hope of life that I fear she'll never know Oh those Bombay Blues

And the harder you push her away The sooner your heart turns a darker shade of grey But the more you allow her in The longer she'll live beneath the surface of your skin

Oh and now that I can see How love becomes the enemy They say there's nothing you can do But that's what they want you to believe

Full moon party on the beach Burning holy effigies on Summer sands Temporarily mend the holes In your chimerical soul In a mystic land

But all the beautiful things that you love Will one day turn into the things that you despise 'Cuz the darkness lives within And the more that you hide it The darker it stains your skin

Oh and now that I can see How love becomes a memory And you say there's nothing I can do If that's what you wanna believe

Oh and now that I can see How love becomes the enemy You say there's nothing I can do If that's what you wanna believe There's clearly nothing I can say That will make her go away Don't say there's nothing I can do If that's what you wanna believe
