Blue, bruised and broken, the evening draws near.
There’s me with my memories of when you were here.
You said you’d be back the last fine day of the year
So come over and see me tonight.

Lost in a mind storm of poetry and plays.
Spend most of my time on my own these days.
I need someone now who is used to my ways
So come over and see me tonight.

And I have tried all I can to persuade you
The path to my door isn’t far.
And such a dark old house that we live in
But I know were the candles are.

Once love has returned here and peace is assured
I’ll unload my gun and lay down my sword.
And wait here for you to come and claim your reward
So come over and see my tonight.

Instrumental break

And I have tried all I can to convince you
That wanting you so much can’t be so wrong.
And if I seem blue I’ve just been standing
Beneath the sky too long.

Blue, bruised and broken. Locked in a zone
Where time don’t fly it sinks like a stone.
Empty rooms empty, heart and God, I hate being alone
So come over and see me tonight.
Ah come over and see me tonight.
