Lyrics

See that big blue note
Over there on the counter?
You don't wanna read that thing, man
It's a real get-you-downer
But don't you dare say nothin' else
Bad about her: she's gone

No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away
'Cause tonight, I might need it
It gets real lonely around here at night some times
An' I have to re-read it
Besides, you can show it to the boys down town
They won't believe that she's gone

There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she'll ever need
I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished
An' the only thing she left behind for me:

Is this big blue note
Folded up in my pocket
Yeah, don't laugh, it's been two months;
I still got it
Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice
Just to make sure I ain't forgot that she's gone

You know, my psychiatrist said:
"Tell me, what do you see
"When you look at these inkspots
"Of, reds, yellows an' greens?"
You know, I looked at 'em all
But they all looked to me like big blue notes

Instrumental break

There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she'll ever need
I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished
An' the only thing that's left to do for me:

Is stand high on this cliff
Overlooking the sea
With my big blue note paper airplane
That I just set free
But I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes
An' if it don't come back to me:
You guessed it: she's gone

Crash landing
Bye bye, baby
