Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Every breath is a prayer of some kind

I beathe in, I beathe out, I just breathe

And you're so well, blue wonderful

blue wonderful to me

Like the swimming in your eyes

I dive in, I dive deep, I just swim

And loose myself in you, blue wonderful,

blue wonderful again

Don't you know where you go, I will follow

In your footsteps I find my own feet

Addicted like I am to the blues

The kindest blue of all the blues I need

Yesterday that's someone else's song

The 65, summertime, long ago

long before you came, blue wonderful

blue wonderful I know

Ain't just someting I've just left behind

In the past, far away, used to be

But you're present my blue wonderful

blue wonderful to me

Go where you want when you want to

Just don't let the wind tear you free

Stick around the love that brings you home

Don't ever hang around with the breeze

...

Don't you know where you go, I will follow

...

In your footsteps I find my own feet

Addicted like I am to the blues

The kindest blue of all the blues I need

Every breath is a prayer of some kind

I beathe in, I beathe out, I just breathe

And you're so well, blue wonderful

blue wonderful to me

Like the swimming in your eyes

I dive in, I dive deep, I just swim

And loose myself in you, blue wonderful,

blue wonderful again

And loose myself in you, blue wonderful,

blue wonderful

blue wonderful

blue wonderful

blue wonderful

again

...
